Storing Cargo in the Trunk
Do not put large, heavy or pointed objects in the trunk. When storing items,
properly secure them so that they do not move around while driving. The fuel
tank is located in the trunk, and although a partition separates the tank from the
cargo space, large items or loose items can damage the fuel tank and fuel system
components.
