CAUTION
■
Things that must not be carried in the rear deck
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the rear deck:
●
Receptacles containing gasoline
●
Aerosol cans
■
Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●
Stow cargo and luggage in the rear deck whenever possible.
●
Except for single-cab models: Do not stack anything behind the front seats
higher than the seatbacks.
Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in the vehicle
in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
●
Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the item
may get under the clutch, brake or accelerator pedal and prevent the ped-
als from being depressed properly, block the driver's vision, or hit the
driver or passengers, causing an accident:
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger seats (when stacking items)
• Except for single-cab models: On the rear seat (when stacking items)
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
●
Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and injure
someone in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an acci-
dent.
●
Never allow anyone to ride in the rear deck. It is not designed for passen-
gers. 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 a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
