Luggage stowage precautions
When stowing luggage or cargo in the
vehicle, observe the following:
Put luggage or cargo in the trunk when
at all possible. Be sure all items are
secured in place.
Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-
anced. Locating the weight as far for-
ward as possible helps maintain bal-
ance.
For better fuel economy, do not carry
unneeded weight.
CAUTION
Do not place anything on the filler
panel behind the rear seatback.
Such items may be thrown about
and possibly injure people in the
vehicle during sudden braking or an
accident.
Do not drive with objects left on
top of the instrument panel. They
may interfere with the driver’s field
of view. Or they may move during
sharp vehicle acceleration or turn-
ing, and impair the driver’s control
of the vehicle. In an accident they
may injure the vehicle occupants.
NOTICE
Ensure that all luggage placed in
the trunk is secure. Extra care
should be taken with heavy items
and items with protrusions as they
may get beyond the partition to the
tank and damage the tank or fuel
system components.
Do not load the vehicle beyond the
vehicle capacity weight specified in
Part 8.
A special label is pasted close to the
license plate on a CNG vehicle. Do not
remove this label.
