Always place cargo evenly on the cargo
floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far
forward as possible.
•

the rear axle. Too much weight or improp-

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.
