WARNING!² The weight and position of cargo and passengers
can change the vehicle center of gravity and ve-
hicle handling. To avoid loss of control resulting
in personal injury, follow these guidelines for
loading your vehicle:
² Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put
heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible.
² Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear
axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight
over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of the
vehicle to sway.
² Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the
seatback. This could impair visibility or become a
dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision. BEVERAGE COOLER STORAGE BIN Ð IF
EQUIPPED
The Beverage Cooler Storage Bin is located in the top of
the instrument panel on the passenger side. A recessed
latch at the front releases the bin door and swings up for
easy access.
