ment.

●
Aerosol cans
●
Storage precautions
■
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the
●
item may get under the clutch, brake or accelerator pedal and prevent
the pedals from being depressed properly, block the driver's vision, or
hit the driver or passengers, causing an accident.
• Driver's feet
• Front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• Instrument panel
• Dashboard
• Auxiliary box or tray that has no lid
Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and
●
injure someone during sudden braking, sudden swerving or an acci-
dent.
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 injury, in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerv-
ing 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 deterioration of steering or braking control which
may cause death or serious injury.
