LOADING CARGO
Stowing cargo
>
Place heavy cargo as far forward as possi-
ble, directly behind the backrests, and as
low as possible
>
Cover sharp edges and corners
>
Do not pile objects higher than the top
edges of the backrests.
For very heavy cargo when the rear seat is
unoccupied, fasten each safety belt in the
opposite buckle. This provides additional
stabilization for the backrests.
