WARNING
● To prevent cargo and luggage from
sliding forward during braking, do not
stack anything in the enlarged trunk.
Keep cargo and luggage low, as close
to the floor as possible.
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
enlarged trunk. It is not designed for
passengers. They should ride in their
seats with their seat belts properly fas-
tened.
● Do not place cargo or luggage in or on
the following locations.
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats
(when stacking items)
• On the package tray
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
• In front of the Center Display
Secure all items in the occupant com-
●
partment.
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.
