■Storage precautions
●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.
■Weight of the load
●Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking con-
trol resulting in an accident which may cause death or serious injury.
●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 no
t apply the load unevenly. Improper
loading may cause deterioration of st eering or braking control which
may cause death or serious injury.
