Do not carry large, heavy or pointed
objects in the trunk. They may
damage the fuel tank.
The fuel tank is located in the trunk,
with a partition between the fuel
tank and the cargo space.
When you store small items in the
trunk, secure them so they will not
shift while you are driving. Loose
items can fly over the partition and
damage the fuel tank and fuel
system components.
To turn off the valve, turn the lever
one-quarter turn clockwise. Turn it
counterclockwise to turn the valve
back on.
Turn off the valve if you ever suspect
a fuel leak or are involved in an
accident.
The maximum load you can carry in
your vehicle is 700 lbs (317 kg). That

accessories. The maximum
recommended weight for cargo in
the trunk is 100 lbs (45 kg).
