If things like suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else are put inside the vehicle, 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. In the cargo area, put them as
far forward as you can. 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.

Do not leave an unsecured child restraint
in the vehicle.

When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.

Do not leave a seat folded down unless
you need to.

Towing Your Vehicle

To avoid damage, the disabled vehicle should be towed
with all four wheels off the ground. Consult your dealer/
retailer or a professional towing service if the disabled
vehicle must be towed. See Roadside Assistance
Program
on page 8-7.

To tow the vehicle behind another vehicle for
recreational purposes, such as behind a motorhome,

two wheels on the ground and two wheels up on a
device known as a dolly.
