WARNING!
• To help protect against personal injury,
passengers should not be seated in the
rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is
intended for load carrying purposes only,
not for passengers, who should sit in
seats and use seat belts.
• Cargo tie-down hooks are not safe an-
chors for a child seat tether strap. In a
sudden stop or accident, a hook could
pull loose and allow the child seat to
come loose. A child could be badly in-
jured. Use only the anchors provided for
child seat tethers.
The weight and position of cargo and pas-
sengers can change the vehicle center of
gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss
of control resulting in personal injury, fol-
low these guidelines for loading your ve-
hicle:
• Do not carry loads which exceed the load
limits described on the label attached to
the left door or left door center pillar.
• Always place cargo evenly on the cargo
floor. Put heavier objects as low and as
far forward as possible.
WARNING!
• Place as much cargo as possible in front
of the rear axle. Too much weight or
improperly placed weight over or behind
the rear axle can cause the rear of the
vehicle to sway.
• Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than
the top of the seatback. This could im-
pair visibility or become a dangerous
projectile in a sudden stop or accident.
