Cargo capacity may increase or de-

and the number of occupants. For de-
tails, see "Capacity and distribution"
that follows.

Cargo and luggage—

—Stowage precautions
When stowing cargo and luggage in
the vehicle, observe the following:
D Put cargo and luggage in the lug-
gage compartment when at all
possible. Be sure all items are se-
cured in place.
D Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-
anced. Locating the weight as far
forward as possible helps maintain
balance.
D For better fuel economy, do not
carry unneeded weight.
CAUTION
D To prevent cargo and luggage
from sliding forward during
braking, do not stack anything
in the luggage compartment
higher than the seatbacks.
Keep cargo and luggage low,
as close to the floor as pos-
sible.

D Do not place anything on the
flattened seat or it may slide
forward during braking.
D 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
or a collision.
D Do not drive with objects left
on top of the instrument panel.
They may interfere with the
driver's field of view. Or they
may move during sharp vehicle
acceleration or turning, and im-
pair the driver's control of the
vehicle. In an accident they
may injure the vehicle occu-
pants.
