ward on the top of the seatback.

When driving
CAUTION
■Storage precautions
●Vehicles with fold-down type rear
seat: To prevent cargo and luggage
from sliding forward during braking, do not stack anything in the
enlarged trunk. Keep cargo and luggage low, as close to the floor as
possible.
●Vehicles with fold-down type rear seat: Never allow anyone to ride in
the enlarged trunk. It is not design ed for passengers. They should ride
in their seats with their seat belts properly fastened. Otherwise, they
are much more likely to suffer death or serious bodily injury, in the
event of sudden braking or a collision.
●Do not place anything on the package tray behind the rear seatback.
Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in the
vehicle during sudden braking or in an accident.
●Do not drive with objects on top of the instrument panel.
They may interfere with the driver’s field of view or move during sharp
acceleration or turning, thus impairing the driver’s control of the vehi-
cle. In an accident they may injure the vehicle occupants.
●Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and
injure someone during an accident or sudden braking.
■Capacity and distribution
●Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle
weight rating.
●Even if the total load of occupant's weight and the cargo load is less
than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly.
Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking con-
trol which may cause death or serious injury.
