around inside the vehicle and can cause in-

jury to vehicle occupants unless the items

are securely fastened in the vehicle.

sion or sudden maneuver, exercise care

go in the cargo compartment if possible. Do

not pile luggage or cargo higher than the

seat backs.

Never drive vehicle with tailgate open.
