o r o n a Roo f Rac k Distribute cargo evenly on the
floor of the cargo area, placing the
heaviest items on the bottom and as far forward as possible. If you fold down the back seat, tie
down items that could be thrown
about the car during a crash or
sudden stop. Do not place items on the cargo
area cover, or stack objects higher
than the top of the back seat. They could block your view and be
thrown about the car during a crash or sudden stop. If you carry large items that
prevent you from closing the
hatch, exhaust gas can enter the
passenger area. To avoid the
possibility of carbon monoxide
poisoning, follow the instructions on page 49 . If you can carry any items on a
roof rack, be sure the total weight
of the rack and the items does not
exceed the maximum allowable
weight. Please contact your Acura dealer for further information.
