DANGER

Make sure you secure items in the luggage compartment properly. Failure to follow this instruction could cause personal injury in the event of a collision or sudden stop.

Do not place items on the luggage compartment cover shelf. Failure to follow this instruction could cause serious or fatal personal injury in the event of a collision or sudden stop.

The vehicle's correct load carrying capacity may be limited by volume (amount of space available) or by payload (weight carried by the vehicle). Once the maximum payload for the vehicle is reached, do not add any further load, even if there is space available. If the vehicle is overloaded or loaded incorrectly, it could overturn. The driver could also lose control.

Make sure the tailgate is fully closed to prevent exhaust gases from entering the vehicle. If the tailgate cannot be fully closed, open the vents or windows to allow fresh air to circulate inside the vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction could cause serious or fatal personal injury.

Do not exceed the maximum loads specified for the vehicle on the front and rear axles.

Note: when loading long items into the vehicle, such as pipes, logs or furniture, take care not to damage the interior trim.
