CAUTION
n
When installing a child restraint system
lSplit rear seats: When installing a child restraint system in the rear center
seat, adjust both seat cushions to the same position and align seatbacks
at the same angle. The seatbacks must be adjusted to the same angle.
Otherwise, the child restraint system cannot be securely restrained and
this may cause death or serious injuries in the event of emergency brak-
ing, sudden swerving or an accident.
l Split rear seats: When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint sys-
tem, move the seat as far back as possible and adjust the seatback as
upright as possible.
l When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child's neck, but not so that it could fall off the child's
shoulder. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event
of emergency braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
l Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
l Push and pull the child restraint system from side to side and forward to be
sure it is secure.
l After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
l Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
l Split rear seats: When a child restraint system with a top tether strap is
installed, do not install the head restraint. The head restraint may interfere
with the top tether strap preventing secure installation of the child restraint
system.
l Split rear seats: Make sure to properly store the removed head restraint in
a secure place when you use the child restraint system on the rear seats.

When driving
CAUTION
nThings that must not be carried in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compart-
ment.
lReceptacles containing gasoline
lAerosol cans
nStorage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury.
lDo not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the
item may get under the clutch, brake or accelerator pedal and prevent
the pedals from being depressed properly, block the driver’s vision, or
hit the driver or passengers, causing an accident.
• Driver’s feet
• Front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• Luggage cover
• Instrument panel
• Dashboard
• Auxiliary box or tray that has no lid
l
Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and
injure someone during emergency braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
lNever allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not
designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat
belts properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer
serious bodily injury, in the event of emergency braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
nCapacity and distribution
lDo not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle
weight rating.
lEven 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.
