CAUTION
■ Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● Vehicles with fold-down type rear seat: To prevent cargo and luggage
from sliding forward during braking, do not stack anything in the
enlarged trunk. Keep cargo and luggage low, as close to the floor as
possible.
● Vehicles with fold-down type rear seat: Never allow anyone to ride in
the enlarged trunk. It is not designed for passengers. They should ride
in their seats with their seat belts properly fastened. Otherwise, they
are much more likely to suffer death or serious bodily injury, in the
event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or a collision.
● Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the
item may get under the clutch, brake or accelerator pedal and prevent
the pedals from being depressed properly, block the driver’s vision, or
hit the driver or passengers, causing an accident.
• Driver’s feet
• Front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• Package tray
• Instrument panel
• Dashboard
● Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and
injure someone during sudden braking, sudden swerving or an acci-
dent.
■ Capacity and distribution
● Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle
weight rating.
● Even if the total load of occupant's weight and the cargo load is less
than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly.
Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking con-
trol which may cause death or serious injury.
