NOTICE
■
When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake, and
shift the shift lever to P. Failure to do
so may cause the vehicle to move or
the vehicle may accelerate suddenly
if the accelerator pedal is accidentally
depressed.
Cargo and luggage
Take notice of the following
information about storage pre-
cautions, cargo capacity and
load.
WARNING
■
Things that must not be carried
in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire
if loaded in the luggage compartment:
●
Receptacles containing gasoline
● Aerosol cans
■
Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the ped-
als from being depressed properly,
may block the driver’s vision, or may
result in items hitting the driver or
passengers, possibly causing an acci-
dent.
●
Stow cargo and luggage in the lug-
gage compartment whenever pos-
sible.
● Do not stack anything in the lug-
gage compartment higher than the
seatbacks.
●
When you fold down the rear seats,
long items should not be placed
directly behind the front seats.
● Never allow anyone to ride in the
luggage compartment. It is not
designed for passengers. They
should ride in their seats with their
seat belts properly fastened. Other-
wise, they are much more likely to
suffer death or serious bodily injury,
in the event of sudden braking, sud-
den swerving or an accident.
