2-5. Driving information
CAUTION
■Things that must not be carried in the trunk
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the trunk.
●Receptacles containing gasoline
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
●Do not place items in or on the following locations:
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• Package tray (behind the rear seatback)
•Instrument panel
•Dashboard
Items placed in the above locations could get thrown around in the event of sud-
den braking or an accident and injure the vehicle occupants.
In addition, items could block the driver’s field of vision or move during sharp
acceleration or turning. If items move about they may get under the brake or
accelerator pedals, preventing them from being depressed properly, or hit the
driver or passengers. In these situations, the driver’s control of the vehicle could
be impaired, causing an accident.
●Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and injure some-
one during an accident or sudden braking.
■Luggage capacity and distribution
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so will not only put load on the
tires, but also reduce steering and braking performance. This could lead to an acci-
dent resulting in serious injury or even death.
●Do not overload the vehicle.
●Do not apply load to the vehicle unevenly.
