Warning!
Always fasten items being carried as
securely as possible using cargo tie-down
rings and fastening materials appropriate
for the weight and size of the load.
In an accident, during hard braking or
sudden maneuvers, loose items will be
thrown around inside the vehicle and can
cause injury to vehicle occupants unless
the items are securely fastened in the
vehicle.
To help avoid personal injury during a
collision or sudden maneuver, exercise
care when transporting cargo. Do not pile
luggage or cargo higher than the seat
backrests.
Wagon: The cargo compartment is the
preferred place to carry objects. Always
use cargo tie-down rings, and if so
equipped, always use the cargo net when
transporting cargo.
Sedan: The trunk is the preferred place to
carry objects. Always use cargo tie-down
rings when transporting cargo. Do not place
anything on the rear-window shelf.
Never drive vehicle with the trunk/cargo
compartment open. Deadly carbon
monoxide (CO) gases may enter vehicle
interior resulting in unconsciousness and
death.
