Loading Instructions
(Vehicles with enlarged
cargo area)
The total load weight including
vehicle occupants and luggage/
cargo should not exceed the
vehicle capacity weight indicated
on the certification tag which can
be found on the left door pillar.
The handling characteristics of a
fully loaded vehicle depend greatly
on the load distribution. It is there­
fore recommended to load the
vehicle according to the illustra­
tions shown, with the heaviest
items being placed towards the
front of the vehicle.
Always place items being carried
against front or rear seat back­
rests, and fasten them as securely
as possible.
The heaviest portion of the cargo
should always be kept as low as
possible since it influences the
handling characteristics of the
vehicle.
Note:
The trunk is the preferred place to
carry objects.
In an accident, during hard
braking or sudden maneuvers,
loose items will be thrown
around inside the vehicle, and
can cause injury to vehicle
occupants unless the items
are securely fastened in the
vehicle.
To help avoid personal injury
during a collision or sudden
maneuver, exercise care when
stowing things. Put luggage or
cargo in the trunk if possible.
Do not pile luggage or cargo
higher than the seat backs. Do
not place anything on the
shelf below the rear window.
Never drive vehicle with trunk
lid open while pass-through is
not closed and seat backrest
not locked in its upright
position. Deadly carbon
monoxide (CO) gases may
enter vehicle interior resulting
in unconsciousness and
death.
