Cargo Tie-Down Hooks
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.
WARNING! (Continued)
• Cargo tie-down hooks are not safe anchors
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 injured. Use only the
anchors provided for child seat tethers.
The weight and position of cargo and passen-
gers can change the vehicle center of gravity
and vehicle handling. To avoid loss of control
resulting in personal injury, follow these guide-
lines for loading your vehicle:
• 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.
• Place as much cargo as possible in front of
the rear axle. Too much weight or improp-
erly placed weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to
sway.
