Allowing a person to ride in the
luggage compartment is dangerous.
The person in the luggage
compartment could be seriously
injured or killed during sudden braking
or a collision.
Do not stack or leave loaded luggage
unsecured in the luggage
compartment:
Otherwise, the luggage may move or
collapse, resulting in injury or an
accident. In addition, do not load
luggage higher than the seatbacks. It
may aect the side or rear field of view.
Additionally, if the air bags deploy, the
cargo may scatter which could result in

any snow and ice accumulation on it.
Otherwise, the liftgate could close
under the weight of the snow and ice

liftgate during strong winds. If a
strong gust blows against the liftgate,
it could close suddenly resulting in

that it stays open. If the liftgate is
only opened partially, it could slam
shut by vibration or wind gusts
