LUGGAGE STOWAGEPRECAUTIONS

observe the following:
Put luggage or cargo in the luggage compartment when at
all possible. Be sure all items are secured in place.
 Be careful to keep the vehicle level. Placing the weight as
far forward as possible helps maintain vehicle balance.
 For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.

during braking, do not stack anything in the luggage
compartment higher than the seatbacks. Keep
luggage or packages low, as close to the floor as
possible.
 Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage
compartment. It is not designed for passengers.

properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more
likely to suffer serious bodily injury, in the event of
sudden braking or a collision.
Do not place anything on the luggage cover. Such
items may be thrown about and possibly injury
people in the vehicle during sudden braking or an
accident.

acceleration or turning, and impair the driver’s
control of the vehicle. In an accident they may injure
the vehicle occupants.
