cautions, cargo capacity and
load.

in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire
if loaded in the luggage compartment:
●
Receptacles containing gasoline
●

Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the ped-
als from being depressed properly,
may block the driver's vision, or may
result in items hitting the driver or
passengers, possibly causing an acci-
dent.
●
Stow cargo and luggage in the lug-
gage compartment whenever pos-
sible.
●
Do not stack anything in the lug-
gage compartment higher than the
seatbacks.
●
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. Other-
wise, they are much more likely to
suffer death or serious bodily injury,
in the event of sudden braking, sud-
den swerving or an accident.
