The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the trunk.
●
Receptacles containing gasoline
●
Aerosol cans
■
Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●
Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the
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.
• Driver's feet
• Front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• Instrument panel
• Dashboard
●
Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and
injure someone during an accident or sudden braking.
●
Never allow anyone to ride in the trunk. It is not designed for passen-
gers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly fas-
tened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or serious
injury, in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
