hored to keep it from being
thrown forward in the event of sudden braking, etc. The vehicle is equip\
ped with eyelets in the cargo
space to which straps or other cargo restraints can be attached.
WARNING!
The eyelets are not to be used as passenger restraints or as anchorages \
for child

Keep the following in mind when loading the vehicle:
l The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is determined by factors such\
as the number of passengers,
the amount of cargo, the weight of any accessories that may be installed\
, etc. See the section "Vehicle
loading" in the chapter "Wheel and tires" for more detailed information.\

l Load the cargo against the backrest.
l Load heavy cargo as low as possible.
l If no one is sitting in the outboard rear seat(s), reinforce the backr\
est by fastening the seat belts.
