Transporting  
Stowing luggage  
Always stow all luggage securely in the vehicle  
Distribute the load in the vehicle and, if applicable, on the roof and in/on the trailer as evenly as possible.  
Put heavy objects as far forward as possible in the luggage compartment and securely latch the rear seat backrest in the upright position.  
Secure luggage in the luggage compartment using suitable straps and the tie downs Tie-downsꢀ.  
Adjust the headlight range, if necessary Lightsꢀ.  
Check the pressure in all 4 tires when the tires are still cold. Never reduce air pressure in warm tires to match cold tire inflation pressure. Heed the information  
on the tire pressure label Important information on tires and wheelsꢀ.  
Pay especially close attention to your vehicle's Tire Pressure Monitoring System when driving with a heavy load Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)ꢀ.  
WARNING  
Unsecured or incorrectly stowed items can fly through the vehicle, causing serious personal injury during hard braking or sharp steering or in an accident.  
Loose items can also be struck and thrown through the passenger compartment by the front airbags if they inflate. To help reduce the risk of serious personal  
injury:  
Always stow all objects securely in the vehicle. Always put luggage and heavy items in the luggage compartment.  
Always secure objects in the passenger compartment properly with suitable straps so that they cannot move into the deployment zone of a side or front  
airbag during sudden braking, in a sudden maneuver, or in a collision.  
239  
Always keep storage compartments closed while driving.  
Never stow hard, heavy, or sharp objects in the vehicle's open storage compartments, on the luggage compartment cover, or on the top of the instrument  
panel.  
Always remove hard, heavy, or sharp objects from clothing and bags in the vehicle interior and stow them securely in the luggage compartment.  
Passengers must never ride in an incorrect seating position because objects are being transported in the vehicle.  
Never let anybody sit in a seat that is blocked by objects being carried in the vehicle.  
Never let anyone ride in the luggage compartment.  
WARNING  
Transporting heavy objects causes the handling characteristics of the vehicle to change and increases braking distances. Heavy loads which are not properly  
stowed or secured in the vehicle can lead to a loss of vehicle control and cause serious personal injury.  
Transporting heavy items causes the handling characteristics of the vehicle to change by shifting the vehicle's center of gravity.  
Always distribute luggage evenly and as low as possible within the vehicle. The vehicle capacity weight figures apply when the load is distributed evenly in  
the vehicle (passengers and luggage).  
Always stow luggage and heavy items in the luggage compartment as far forward of the rear axle as possible and secure them with appropriate straps to  
the tie-downs provided.  
Secure the load properly to keep it from shifting.  
Never exceed the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or Gross Axle Weight Ratings, which are printed on the Safety Compliance Certification Label  
located on the door jamb of the driver door. Exceeding the permissible weight can cause the vehicle to skid and behave differently.  
Always adapt your speed and driving style to accommodate your payload and its weight distribution within your vehicle.  
Be especially cautious and gentle when stepping on the accelerator pedal and avoid sudden braking and other maneuvers.  
Brake earlier than you would if you were not driving a loaded vehicle.  
NOTE  
The defroster heating wires or antenna in the rear window can be damaged by objects that rub against them.  
The ventilation slots in the luggage compartment must not be blocked so that stale air can escape from the vehicle.  
If applicable, please review the information on loading a trailer Trailer towingꢀ and a roof rack Roof rackꢀ.
