Controls in detail Loading Roof rack This vehicle is not intended to carry items on its roof. Thus roof rails and any roof-mounted devices must not be used. Warning! Expanding cargo compartment To expand the cargo compartment, you can fold forward the left and right section of the rear seat backrest of the rear seat bench separately. Warning! Split rear seat bench Warning! G G Do not load items on the roof. It may cause instability during some maneuvers which could result in an accident. Failure to assure that seat benches and seat backrests are locked into place could result in an increased chance of injury in an accident. G Never place hands under seat or near any moving parts while a seat is being adjusted. For safety reasons, the rear seat bench must only be adjusted when the vehicle is stationary. Never drive vehicle with the tailgate open. Deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gases may enter vehicle interior resulting in unconsciousness and death. Always lock seat backrest in its upright position when rear seat bench is occupied by passengers, or cargo is being carried behind the rear seat bench. To help avoid personal injury from smaller objects being thrown around in the occupant compartment during a collision or sudden maneuver, always use partition net* when transporting cargo ( page 210). Always use the cargo tie down rings ( page 209). ! Before folding the rear seat backrest and the rear seat bench forward, be sure that all containers in the rear cup holder are removed.
