The following things may cause a fire

Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the ped-
als from being depressed properly,
may block the driver's vision, or may
result in items hitting the driver or
passengers, possibly causing an acci-
dent.
●
Stow cargo and luggage in the lug-
gage compartment whenever pos-
sible.
●
Do not stack cargo and luggage in
the luggage compartment higher
than the seatbacks.
●
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
luggage compartment. It is not
designed for passengers. They
should ride in their seats with their
seat belts properly fastened.
●
Do not place cargo or luggage in or
on the following locations.
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear

• On the luggage cover (if equipped)
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
●
Secure all items in the occupant
compartment.
■
Load and distribution
●
Do not overload your vehicle.
●
Do not apply loads unevenly.
Improper loading may cause deterio-
ration of steering or braking control
which may cause death or serious
injury.
■
When using a roof luggage car-
rier (vehicles with roof rails)
Observe the following precautions:
●
Place the cargo so that its weight is
distributed evenly between the front
and rear axles.
●
If loading long or wide cargo, never
exceed the vehicle overall length or
width. (P.418)
●
Before driving, make sure the cargo
is securely fastened on the roof lug-
gage carrier.
●
Loading cargo on the roof luggage
carrier will make the center of grav-
ity of the vehicle higher. Avoid high
speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,
sudden braking or abrupt maneu-
vers, otherwise it may result in loss
of control or vehicle rollover due to
failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly and result in death or serious
injury.
●
If driving for a long distance, on
rough roads, or at high speeds,
stop the vehicle now and then dur-
ing the trip to make sure the cargo
remains in its place.
●
Do not exceed 75 kg (165 lb.) cargo
weight on the roof luggage carrier.
