If you put things inside your
vehicle — like suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else, they
will go as fast as the vehicle
goes. If you have to stop or turn
quickly, or if there is a crash,
they will keep going.

{

CAUTION

Things you put inside your
vehicle can strike and injure
people in a sudden stop or
turn, or in a crash.

Put things in the cargo
area of your vehicle.
Try to spread the weight
evenly.

(Continued)

CAUTION

(Continued)

Never stack heavier
things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above
the tops of the seats.

Do not leave an
unsecured child restraint
in your vehicle.

When you carry something
inside the vehicle, secure
it whenever you can.

Do not leave a seat folded
down unless you need to.
