LOADING AND STORAGE
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.218
Cargo space
The vehicle has flexible cargo capacity thatmakes it possible to load and secure largeobjects.
By folding down the backrests in the second andthird rows* of seats, the cargo capacity of thevehicle increases considerably. To make loadingeasier, the rear section of the vehicle can beraised and lowered using the pneumatic suspen-sion*. Use the load anchoring eyelets or the gro-cery bag holder to secure objects and the cargocompartment cover to help conceal the load.
The jack* and tools can be found under the cargocompartment's floor.

Loading
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle isdetermined by factors such as the number ofpassengers, the amount of cargo, the weight ofany accessories that may be installed, etc.
Loading recommendations
•Load objects in the cargo compartmentagainst the backrest whenever possible.
•If the backrests of the second row seats arefolded down, they should not be in contactwith the front seat backrests. This couldimpede the function of the WhiplashProtection System (WHIPS).
•Unstable loads can be secured to the loadanchoring eyelets with straps or web lash-ings to help keep them from shifting.
•Stop the engine and apply the parking brakewhen loading or unloading long objects. Thegear selector can be knocked out of positionby long loads, which could set the vehicle inmotion.
WARNING
•Stop the engine, put the gear selector inP, and apply the parking brake whenloading or unloading long objects.
•The vehicle's driving characteristics maychange depending on the weight and dis-tribution of the load.
•A 44-pound (20 kg) object produces aforce of 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg) in ahead-on collision at 30 mph (50 km/h).
•The cargo area and rear seat should notbe loaded to a level higher than 2 in.(5 cm) below the upper edge of the rearside windows. Objects placed higher thanthis level could impede the function ofthe Inflatable Curtain.

WARNING
•Cover sharp edges on long loads to helpprevent injury to occupants. Secure theload to help prevent shifting during sud-den stops.
•Always secure large and heavy objectswith a seat belt or cargo retaining straps.
•Always secure the load to help prevent itfrom moving in the event of sudden stops.
•Switch off the engine, apply the parkingbrake and put the gear selector in Pwhen loading and unloading the vehicle.
