LUGGAGE STOWAGE PRECAUTIONS

When stowing luggage or cargo in or on the vehicle, observe the following:

• Put luggage or cargo in the luggage compartment when at all possible. Be sure all items are secured in place.
• Be careful to keep the vehicle level. Placing the weight as far forward as possible helps maintain vehicle balance.
• For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.

! CAUTION

• To prevent luggage or packages from sliding forward during braking, do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the seatbacks. Keep luggage or packages low, as close to the floor as possible.
• 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 properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking or a collision.

82

INTERIOR EQUIPMENT

• Do not drive with objects left on top of the instrument panel. They may interfere with the driver’s field of view. Or they may move during sharp vehicle acceleration or turning, and impair the driver’s control of the vehicle. In an accident they may injure the vehicle occupants.

NOTICE Do not load the vehicle beyond the vehicle capacity weight specified on the tire pressure label.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions and precautions when installing the attachments or their equivalent.

CAUTION When you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier, observe the following:

• Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front and rear axles.
• If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length or width. (See "Specifications" on page 391 for information on your vehicle overall length and width.)
• Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof luggage carrier.
• Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly.
• If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the vehicle now and then during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its place.
• Do not exceed 70 kg (143 lb.) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
