9-16 Driving and Operating
If you put things inside your
vehicle — like suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else, they
will go as fast as the vehicle
goes. If you have to stop or turn
quickly, or if there is a crash,
they will keep going.

WARNING
Things you put inside the
vehicle can strike and injure
people in a sudden stop or
turn, or in a crash.
. Put things in the cargo
area of the vehicle. Try to
spread the weight evenly.
. Never stack heavier
things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above
the tops of the seats.

WARNING (Continued)
. Do not leave an

inside the vehicle, secure
it whenever you can.

(55 mph) or less for the first
805 km (500 miles).
. Do not drive at any one
constant speed, fast or slow,
for the first 805 km
(500 miles). Do not make
full-throttle starts. Avoid
downshifting to brake or
