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.

CAUTION

Things you put inside your
vehicle can strike and injure
people in a sudden stop or
turn, or in a crash.

Put things in the cargo
area of your vehicle.

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