CAUTION
- Do not pick up a cup from the cup
holder or put a cup in the holder
while you are driving, as this may
distract you and lead to an accident.

seatback. Otherwise, the beverage
could spill and, if the beverage
is hot, it could scald you
and/or your passengers.

Other information:
Grease, wax, insects, or other material on
the windshield or the wiper blade results in
jerky wiper operation and streaking on the
glass. If you cannot remove the streaks
after operating the windshield washer or if
the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer
surface of the windshield (or rear window)
and the wiper blades using a sponge or
soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mildabrasive
cleaner...
In the event that you cannot open the rear
gate by operating the rear gate opener
button, you can open it from inside the
cargo area.
Remove the access cover at the
bottom-center of the rear gate trim using
a flat-head screwdriver wrapped with vinyl
tape or a cloth...
