WARNING!

Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into

position. If the seatback is not securely locked into
position, the seat will not provide the proper sta-
bility for child seats and/or passengers. An improp-
erly latched seat could cause serious injury.

The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the

rear seatbacks in the locked-up or folded down
position) should not be used as a play area by
children when the vehicle is in motion. They could
be seriously injured in a collision. Children should
be seated and using the proper restraint system.

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.

WARNING!

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 per-
sonal injury, follow these guidelines for loading your
vehicle:
Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put

heavier objects as low and as far forward as pos-
sible.

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 rear of
the vehicle to sway.

Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of

the seatback. This could impair visibility or be-
come a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or
collision.
