Acura 2011 ZDX - Manual (Page 472)

Carrying Cargo in the Passenger
Compartment
●
Store or secure all items that could
be thrown around and hurt
someone during a crash.
● Be sure items placed on the floor
behind the front seats cannot roll
underneath and interfere with the
proper operation of the seats, the
sensors under the seats, or the
driver's ability to operate the
pedals.
Also, keep all cargo below the
bottom of the windows. If it is
higher, it could interfere with the
proper operation of the side
curtain airbags.
● Keep the glove box closed while
driving. If it is open, a passenger
could injure their knees during a
crash or sudden stop.
Carrying Cargo in the Cargo Area
● Distribute cargo evenly on the
floor of the cargo area, placing the
heaviest items on the bottom and
as far forward as possible. Tie
down items that could be thrown
about the vehicle during a crash or
sudden stop.
●
If you fold down the rear seats, tie
down items that could be thrown
about the vehicle during a crash or
sudden stop.
●
If you carry large items that
prevent you from closing the
tailgate, exhaust gas can enter the
passenger area. To avoid the
possibility of carbon monoxide
poisoning, follow the instructions
on page
57 .
● The cargo area is fitted with loop
carpet, similar to home loop
carpet.
If a loop is damaged or pulled,
repair it by carefully trimming with
scissors to prevent further
snagging.
