Emergency kit
(where provided)
Inside the kit are a fire extinguisher and a
first-aid bag.
WARNING
37) Be careful not to hit objects on the roof
rack when you open the tailgate.
38) Cargo tie-down hooks are not safe
anchors for a child seat tether strap. In a
sudden stop or accident, a tie-down could
pull loose and allow the child seat to come
loose. A child could be badly injured. Use
only the anchors provided for child seat
tethers.
39) To help protect against personal injury,
passengers should not be seated in the rear
cargo area. The rear cargo space is intended
for load carrying purposes only, not for
passengers, who should sit in seats and use
seat belts.
40) The weight and position of cargo and
passengers can change the vehicle center of
gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss
of control resulting in personal injury, follow
these guidelines for loading your vehicle: Do
not carry loads that exceed the load limits
described on the sticker attached to the
left door or left door center pillar. Always
place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put
heavier objects as low and as far forward as
possible. Place as much cargo as possible
in front of the rear axle. Too much weight
or improperly placed weight over or behind
the rear axle can cause the vehicle to sway.
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than
the top of the seatback. This could impair
visibility or become a dangerous projectile
in a sudden stop or accident.
