HONDA 2010 Insight - Manual (Page 304)

Store or secure all items that could
be thrown around and hurt
someone during a crash.
Be sure items placed on the floor
behind the front seats cannot roll
under the seats and interfere with
the driver’s ability to operate the
pedals, the operation of the seats,
or the operation of the sensors
under the seats.
Keep the glove box closed while
driving. If it is open, a passenger
could injure their knees during a
crash or sudden stop.
Distribute cargo evenly on the
floor of the hatch, placing the
heaviest items on the bottom and
as far forward as possible.
Try to secure the items with rope
or cord so they will not shift while
you are driving.
Do not place items on the cargo
area cover (if equipped), or stack
objects higher than the top of the
back seat. They could block your
view and be thrown about the
vehicle during a crash or sudden
stop.
If you carry large items that
prevent you from closing the
hatch, exhaust gas can enter the
passenger area. To avoid the
possibility of
, follow the instructions
on page .
If you fold the rear seats down, tie
down items that could be thrown
about the vehicle during a crash or
sudden stop. Keep all cargo below
the bottom of the windows. If it is
higher, it could interfere with
proper operation of the side
curtain airbags.
Refer to page for folding rear
seats.
