WARNING
•
Stop the engine, put the gear selector in
P, and apply the parking brake when
loading or unloading long objects.
•
The vehicle's driving characteristics may
change depending on the weight and dis-
tribution of the load.
•
A 44-pound (20 kg) object produces a
force of 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg) in a
head-on collision at 30 mph (50 km/h).
•
The cargo area and rear seat should not
be loaded to a level higher than 2 in.
(5 cm) below the upper edge of the rear
side windows. Objects placed higher than
this level could impede the function of
the Inflatable Curtain.
WARNING
•
Cover sharp edges on long loads to help
prevent injury to occupants. Secure the
load to help prevent shifting during sud-
den stops.
•
Always secure large and heavy objects
with a seat belt or cargo retaining straps.
•
Always secure the load to help prevent it
from moving in the event of sudden stops.
•
Switch off the engine, apply the parking
brake and put the gear selector in P
when loading and unloading the vehicle.
Extra loading space
The rear seat backrests can be folded down to
added cargo space or for transporting long
objects.
The hatch in the center section of the rear seat
backrest can be opened without folding the
backrest down to transport long objects such as
skis, etc.
WARNING
•
Boxes, suitcases, etc. wedged behind the
front seats could impede the function of
the Whiplash Protection System.
•
If the rear seat backrests are folded
down, cargo must be secured to prevent
it from sliding forward against the front
seat backrests in the event of a collision
from the rear. This could interfere with
the action of the Whiplash Protection
System.
