●
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 luggage compartment whenever possible.
●
Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the item may
●
get under the brake or accelerator pedal and prevent the pedals from being
depressed properly, block the driver' s vision, or hit the driver or passenger, caus-
ing an accident:
• At the feet of the driver
• On the passenger seat (when stacking items)
• On the package tray
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and injure some-
●
one during sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for
●
passengers. The passenger should ride in the seat with the seat belt properly fas-
tened. Otherwise, the passenger is 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 dete-
rioration of steering or braking control which may cause death or serious injury.
