Storage precautions

n
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possi-
l
ble.
Do not stack cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment higher
l
than the seatbacks.
Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in the
vehicle in the event of sudden braking or in an accident.
Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the
l
item may get under the brake or accelerator pedal and prevent the
pedals from being depressed properly, block the driver's vision, or hit
the driver or passengers, causing an accident:
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and
l
injure someone in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed
l
directly behind the front seats.
Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not
l
designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat
belts properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer
death or serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
