LOADING AND STORAGE
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 200
Cargo space
The vehicle has flexible cargo capacity that
makes it possible to load and secure large
objects.
By folding down the rear seat backrests, the
cargo capacity of the vehicle increases consider-
ably. Use the load anchoring eyelets or the gro-
cery bag holder to secure objects.
The spare tire, jack and tools can be found under
the floor of the trunk.

Loading
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is
determined by factors such as the number of
passengers, the amount of cargo, the weight of
any accessories that may be installed, etc.
Loading recommendations
•
Load objects in the cargo compartment
against the backrest whenever possible.
•
If the backrests of the second row seats are
folded down, they should not be in contact
with the front seat backrests. This could
impede the function of the Whiplash
Protection System (WHIPS).
•
Unstable loads can be secured to the load
anchoring eyelets with straps or web lash-
ings to help keep them from shifting.
•
Stop the engine and apply the parking brake
when loading or unloading long objects. The
gear selector can be knocked out of position
by long loads, which could set the vehicle in
motion.
