If you put things in the hatchback area, be sure
they won’t break the glass when you close it.

Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has
a number of theft-deterrent
features, we
know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there
are ways you
can help.
