carry cargo, properly secure all cargo
to help prevent it from sliding or shift-
ing. Do not place cargo higher than

cTo prevent luggage or packages
from sliding forward during braking,do not stack anything in the cargo
area higher than the seatbacks.

odically with a high-powered vacuum

sliding ability of the seat. A wet cleansing
agent may be used if necessary, but the
seat tracks must be thoroughly dried.

(or similar object) to clean the seat tracks.

the tracks.
