Place heavy objects in the rear load area as far forward as possible against the
rear bulkhead. When stacking objects, place the heavier objects at the bottom.
Unsecured objects in the rear load area could be thrown forward with great force
during heavy braking or in an accident.

Heavy objects can slip when the vehicle is braking heavily or driven around a bend,
and the handling of the vehicle may change.

Do not place objects in front of the rear window or on the dashboard above the
instrument panel. They are reflected in the glass, obstruct the driver's view and
may be thrown through the vehicle in the event of heavy braking.

Do not place objects in the area where the airbags inflate. Objects can cause injury
if the airbags are deployed.

in contact with the container at all times
while filling, as indicated on the warning
plate on the inside of the load area.

Gas cylinders can leak, creating a risk of fire or explosion. As a precaution, ensure
adequate ventilation when carrying gas cylinders. They must be restrained from rolling

be used. Transportation of gas cylinders is regulated by legislation in some States.
