70 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
(Continued)
(Continued)

The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle
(with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or
folded down position) should not be used
as a play area by children when the vehicle
is in motion. They could be seriously injured
in a collision. Children should be seated
and using the proper restraint system.

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.
WARNING! (Continued)
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:

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 improp -
erly placed weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to
sway.
WARNING! (Continued)

Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the
top of the seatback. This could impair visi -
bility or become a dangerous projectile in a
sudden stop or collision.
