and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency
situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.
Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, in vehicle communications
systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.

To reduce the risk of injury,
the luggage cover must be
properly attached to the mounting

case of a sudden stop or collision.
The cover may cause injury in a sudden stop or accident if it is
not securely installed.
LUGGAGE RACK (IF EQUIPPED)
The maximum recommended load is
100 kg (220 lbs) on the luggage rack
structure. The loadmust beplaced
directly on the dealer installed cross
bars (if equipped) and luggage rack.
The vehicle’s roof panelis not
designed to carry a load.
When loading the luggage rack, it is
recommended to evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a low
center of gravity. Ensure that the load is securely fastened.
Your fuel economy will decrease when you drive with items on the
luggage rack. When the rack is loaded, check the tightness of the rear
adjusting thumbwheel before driving and at each refueling stop.
Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle
differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as
slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken when
driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
