If you put things inside your
vehicle - like suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else -
they will go as fast as the
vehicle goes. If you have to stop
or turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, they will keep going.
Warning
Things you put inside the
vehicle can strike and injure
people in a sudden stop or
turn or in a crash.
Put things in the cargo
area of the vehicle. Try to
spread the weight evenly.
Never stack heavier
things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above
the tops of the seats.
Warning (Continued)
Do not leave an
unsecured child restraint
in the vehicle.
When you carry something
inside the vehicle, secure
it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded
down unless you need to.
