When stowing luggage or cargo in the vehicle, observe
the following:
Put luggage or cargo in the trunk when at all possible. Be
sure all items are secured in place.

far forward as possible helps maintain vehicle balance.
 For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.

during braking, do not stack anything in the enlarged
trunk or the luggage compartment higher than the
seatbacks. Keep luggage or packages low, as close
to the floor as possible.

the luggage compartment. It is not designed for pas-
sengers. They could be injured in sudden braking or
a collision.
 Do not place anything on the package tray behind the
rear seatback or luggage cover. Such items may be
thrown about and possibly injure people in the
