WARNING
Never allow a person to ride in the
luggage compartment/trunk: Allowing a person to ride in the

dangerous. The person in the luggage
compartment/trunk could be seriously
injured or killed during sudden braking
or a collision.

which is colorless, odorless, and highly
poisonous, and it can cause loss of
consciousness and death. Moreover,
an open liftgate/trunk lid could cause
occupants to fall out in an accident.

Do not stack or leave loaded luggage
unsecured in the luggage compartment: Otherwise, the luggage may move
or collapse, resulting in injury or an
accident. In addition, do not load
luggage higher than the seatbacks. It
