The cargo area is provided with four
tie-down rings. Additional two rings are lo-
cated at the rear of front seats.
Cargo tie-down ring
Carefully secure cargo by applying even
load on all rings with rope of sufficient
strength to hold down the cargo. Hooks
Four hooks located on the rear compart-
ment trim panels, two on each side.

Use the hooks to secure light weight items.
The maximum permissible weight per hook
is 9 lbs. (4 kg).

The trunk is the preferred place to carry
objects. The enlarged cargo area
should only be used for items which do
not fit in the trunk alone.

While the partition net ( ୴ page 141)
will help protect you from smaller ob-
jects, it cannot prevent the movement
of large, heavier objects into the pas-
senger area in an accident. Such items
must be properly secured using the
cargo tie-down rings in the cargo area
floor.
