Cargo Area WARNING!
To help protect against personal
injury, passengers must not be seated
in the rear cargo area. The rear cargo
space is intended for load carrying
purposes only, not for passengers,
who should sit in seats and use seat
belts.

vehicle is shown on the vehicle
emission control label positioned on
the rear driver door's ledge.
The information indicated on the label
concerns passengers and luggage
loading operations. Do not exceed the specified Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR),
both front and rear.
The GVWR is the total allowable
weight of your vehicle. This includes
driver, passengers, and cargo.
The total load must be limited so that
you do not exceed the GVWR
indicated on the label.
Vehicle Loading WARNING!
• Improper weight distribution can
have an adverse effect on the way
the vehicle steers, handles and the
way the brakes operate.

collision.
The trunk is the most suitable place to
load
bulky and heavy objects onboard
the vehicle. The maximum allowable load on the floor of the trunk is 440 lb
(200 kg).
To load your vehicle properly, store
heavier items below and be sure you
distribute their weight as evenly as

upright position, make sure it is
latched by strongly pulling on the top
of the seatback above the seat strap.
