WARNING

. Properly secure all cargo with ropes

or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. Do not place
cargo higher than the seatbacks. In

a sudden stop or collision, unse-
cured cargo could cause personal
injury.

. The child restraint top tether strap

may be damaged by contact with
items in the cargo area. Secure any
items in the cargo area. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed
in a collision if the top tether strap is
damaged.

. Do not load your vehicle any heavier

than the GVWR or the maximum
front and rear GAWRs. If you do,
parts of your vehicle can break, tire
damage could occur, or it can
change the way your vehicle han-
dles. This could result in loss of
control and cause personal injury.
