a sudden stop or accident, a tie-down
could pull loose and allow the child seat
to come loose. A child could be badly
injured. Use only the anchors provided for
child seat tethers.
74) To help protect against personal
injury, passengers should 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.
75) The weight and position of cargo and
passengers can change the vehicle center
of gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid
loss of control resulting in personal injury,
follow these guidelines for loading your
vehicle: Do not carry loads that exceed
the load limits described on the sticker
attached to the left door or left door
center pillar. Always place cargo evenly on
the cargo floor. Put heavier objects as low
and as far forward as possible. Place as
much cargo as possible in front of the
rear axle. Too much weight or improperly
placed weight over or behind the rear axle
can cause the vehicle to sway. Do not pile
luggage or cargo higher than the top of
the seatback. This could impair visibility
or become a dangerous projectile in a
sudden stop or accident.
