Storage precautions

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the pedals from being depressed properly,
may block the driver's vision, or may result in items hitting the driver or
passengers, possibly causing an accident.
●
Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possi-
ble.
●
Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the
seatbacks.
●
Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations.
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• On the luggage cover (if equipped)
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
●
Secure all items in the occupant compartment.
●
When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed
directly behind the front seats.
●
Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not
designed for passengers. 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 sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
