Loading and storing
Always place items being carried against 
front or rear seat backrests, and fasten 
them as securely as possible.
The heaviest portion of the cargo should al-
ways be kept as low as possible since it in-
fluences the handling characteristics of 
the vehicle.
Storage compartments
Warning!
G
Always fasten items being carried as secure-
ly as possible using cargo tie-down hooks 
and fastening materials appropriate for the 
weight and size of the load.
In an accident, during hard braking or sud-
den maneuvers, loose items will be thrown 
around inside the vehicle and can cause in-
jury to vehicle occupants unless the items 
are securely fastened in the vehicle.
To help avoid personal injury during a colli-
sion or sudden maneuver, exercise care 
when transporting cargo. Put luggage or car-
go in the trunk if possible.
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the 
seat backs. Do not place anything on the 
rear-window shelf.
Never drive vehicle with trunk open. Deadly 
carbon monoxide (CO) gases may enter ve-
hicle interior resulting in unconsciousness 
and death.

The trunk is the preferred place to carry ob-
jects.
The enlarged cargo area should only be used for 
items which do not fit in the trunk alone.
Warning!

To help avoid personal injury during a colli-
sion or sudden maneuver, exercise care 
when storing objects in the vehicle. Put lug-
gage or cargo in the trunk if possible. Do not 
pile luggage or cargo higher than the seat 
backs.
Parcel nets cannot secure hard or heavy ob-
jects. 
Keep compartment lids closed. This will help 
to prevent stored objects from being thrown 
about and injuring vehicle occupants during
braking
vehicle maneuvers or
an accident.
