WARNING
■ Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compart-
ment:
●
Receptacles containing gasoline
●
Aerosol cans
■ Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the pedals from being depressed properly,
may block the driver’s vision, or may result in items hitting the driver or
passengers, possibly causing an accident.
●
Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possi-
ble.
●
Do not stack cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment higher
than the seatbacks.
●
Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations.
• Driver’s feet
• Front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• Instrument panel
• Dashboard
• Auxiliary box or tray that has no lid
●
Secure all items in the occupant compartment.
●
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. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer
death or serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
■ Capacity and distribution
●
Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle
weight rating.
●
Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less
than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly.
Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking con-
trol which may cause death or serious injury.
