Cargo bed
y Never fill gasoline containers on the cargo
bed. Static electricity may ignite gasoline vapor
when filling portable containers. Approved
containers must be removed from the vehicle
and placed on the ground when filling.
Do not fill any portable container on a vehicle.
y Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo bed.
It is not designed for passengers. They should
ride in the seats with the seatbelts securely fas-
tened. Otherwise they are much more likely to
suffer serious injury or death in a sudden brak-
ing or in a collision.
y Do not exceed the cargo load rating of your
vehicle. Refer to the “Loading your vehicle”
section in Chapter 8.
y Be sure cargo is secured properly. Unse-
cured cargo in the cargo bed can be thrown
around during sudden braking, in a sharp turn
or during rapid acceleration, which could cre-
ate a dangerous road hazard.
y To avoid creating a dangerous road hazard or
causing personal injury, cargo must not stick
out beyond the tailgate.
y Never drive the vehicle with the tailgate open
unless the optional SUBARU Bed Extender is
used.
Cargo should be placed in the cargo bed. Make sure
all items are secured in place.
Be careful to keep the vehicle balanced. Locating the
weight as low and far forward as possible helps main-
tain balance.
