For 1990-2009 cars

Wagon models are equipped with a rear compartment cargo shade. The cargo shade will help to hide valuables placed in the rear compartment of your vehicle.

Here's how to use the cargo shade:

1. Open the liftgate.
2. Grasp the handle on the shade and pull it toward you.
3. Hook the slides of the shade into the notches on either side of the liftgate opening.

If your cargo shade becomes soiled, it may be cleaned using the same method as outlined in the vinyl cleaning section in this handbook. See Interior Cleaning for more information.

### Removing the Cargo Cover

To remove the cargo shade:

1. Unhook the shade and allow it to retract all the way.
2. Grasp the shade on the driver's side of the vehicle and move it toward the passenger's side, compressing the spring.
3. Lift up the end of the shade on the driver's side of the vehicle and remove the cargo shade from the vehicle.

Caution: An improperly stored cargo shade could be thrown about the vehicle during a collision or sudden maneuver. You or others could be injured. If you remove the shade, always store it outside of the vehicle. When you put it back, always be sure that it is securely installed.

### Installing the Cargo Shade

To install the cargo shade:

1. Insert one end of the shade into the slot on the passenger's side of the vehicle.
2. Move the shade toward the passenger's side to compress the spring, and lower the shade into the slot on the driver's side of the vehicle.

After you've installed the cargo shade, check to make sure it's secure by trying to lift the shade up without moving it toward the driver's or passenger's side. If you can lift the cargo shade up, it isn't secure.
