shift lever is in P (Park), and the
parking brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move if
the shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.
WA R N I N G
Do not place objects in the rear

stop, the unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move for-
ward with great force and enter
the passenger compartment,
