Luggage Stowage Precautions - Lexus RX300 Manual

LUGGAGE STOWAGE
PRECAUTIONS
When stowing luggage or cargo in the vehicle, observe the
following:
D Put luggage or cargo in the luggage compartment when at all
possible. Be sure all items are secured in place.
D Be careful to keep the vehicle level. Placing the weight as far
forward as possible helps maintain vehicle balance.
D For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.
CAUTION
D To prevent luggage or packages from sliding forward
during braking, do not stack anything in the luggage
compartment higher than the seatbacks. Keep luggage or
packages low, as close to the floor as possible.
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 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 impair the driver's control of the vehicle. In
an accident they may injure the vehicle occupants.
INTERIOR EQUIPMENT
NOTICE
Do not load the vehicle beyond the vehicle capacity weight
specified on the tire pressure label.
