Securing the load
There are tie down hooks located in the cargo area as shown. The tie down hooks can be used to secure cargo with ropes or other types of straps.
Do not apply a total load of more than 22 lb (10 kg) to a single hookA or 7 lb (3 kg) to a single hook B when securing cargo.
WARNING
► Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
► The child restraint top tether strap may
be damaged by contact with items in the
cargo area. Secure any items in the
cargo area. Your child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision if the top
tether strap is damaged.
► Do not load your vehicle any heavier
than the GVWR or the maximum front
and rear GAWRs. If you do, parts of your
vehicle can break, tire damage could
occur, or it can change the way your
vehicle handles. This could result in loss
of control and cause personal injury.
