1804-1. Before driving
AYGO_OM_Europe_OM99R19E
Cargo and luggage
Take notice of the following information about storage precau- 
tions, cargo capacity and load.
WARNING
■ Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment 
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compartment: 
● Receptacles containing gasoline 
● Aerosol cans 
■ Storage precautions 
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may prevent t he pedals from being depressed properly, 
may block the driver’s vision, or may re sult in items hitting the driver or pas- 
sengers, possibly causing an accident. 
● Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possible. 
● Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the seat- 
backs.  
● Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations. 
• At the feet of the driver 
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items) 
• On the luggage cover (if equipped)
• On the instrument panel 
• On the dashboard 
● Secure all items in the occupant compartment. 
● When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed 
directly behind the front seats. 
● Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not designed 
for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts prop-
erly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or seri- 
ous bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an 
accident. 
■ Load and distribution 
● Do not overload your vehicle. 
● Do not apply loads unevenly. 
Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control 
which may cause death or serious injury.
