braking, do not stack anything
in the enlarged trunk. Keep car-
go and luggage low, as close
to the floor as possible.

also deterioration to the steering
ability and braking ability, which
may cause an accident.

Even if the number of occupants
are within the seating capacity,
do not exceed the total load ca-
pacity.
