WARNING  
Do not place anything on the ex-  
tended cover. Putting excessive  
weight on the extended cover can  
break it and an object on the cover  
could tumble forward in the event of  
a sudden stop or collision. This  
could cause serious injury.  
The cargo area cover is provided for  
covering the cargo area and to protect its  
contents from direct sunlight. This cover is  
detachable to make room for additional  
cargo.  
& Using the cover  
CAUTION  
Be careful not to scratch the rear  
gate stays while extending and re-  
winding the cover. Scratches on the  
stays could cause leakage of gas  
from the stays, which may result in  
their inability to hold the rear gate  
open.  
A convenience hook is attached to the rear  
gate trim. When the rear gate is open, you  
can hang a lantern, wet suit, etc. on the  
hook.  
To extend the cover, pull the end of the  
cover out of the housing, then insert its  
hooks into the catches as shown. To  
rewind it, unhook it from the catches and  
it will rewind automatically. You should  
hold on to the cover and guide it back into  
the cover housing while it is rewinding.
