frontal collision. Unsecured objects
that are thrown around the inside of
the vehicle could cause injury to
occupants. This is particularly true for
objects stacked above the seatback
level. Never stack objects above the
seatback level. If the luggage
compartment is divided from the rear

Make sure luggage and cargo issecured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving is
dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.
CAUTION
Moving the rear seatbacks with the
retainer bar mounted could scratch the
interior of the vehicle. The retainer bar
must be removed from the back of the
seatbacks before raising the seatbacks.

Inside Trunk Release
Lever (Sedan)
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside
trunk release handle that provides a means
of escape for children and adults in the
event they become locked inside the
trunk.
No matter how careful adults might be
with keys and locking their cars, parents
should be aware that children may be
tempted to play around vehicles and use
the trunk as a hiding place.
Adults are advised to familiarize
themselves with the operation and
location of the inside release handle so
that all children can be told about it in an
appropriate way, keeping in mind that
most vehicles don't have such handles.
WARNING
Close the trunk lid, lock the rearseatbacks and do not allow children toplay inside the vehicle:
Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving
children in the vehicle with the keys is
dangerous. Children could open the
trunk lid and climb inside resulting in
possible injury or death from heat
exposure.
Always keep the car from being atempting place to play by locking rearseats, doors and the trunk, andkeeping the keys where children cannot play with them:
Leaving children or animals
