Carrying Cargo Carrying Cargo in the Cargo Area or on a Roof Rack Distribute cargo evenly on the floor of the cargo area, placing the heaviest items on the bottom and as far forward as possible. Tie down items that could be thrown about the vehicle during a crash or sudden stop. If you carry large items that prevent you from closing the tailgate or the hatch glass, exhaust gas can enter the passenger area. To avoid the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning, follow the instructions on page 60 . If you can carry any items on a roof rack, be sure the total weight of the rack and the items does not exceed the maximum allowable weight. Please contact your Honda dealer for further information. If you use an accessory roof rack, the roof rack weight limit may be lower. Refer to the information that came with your roof rack. HOOKS To secure cargo, use the four floor hooks in the cargo area. Make sure all stored items are secured before driving. CONTINUED Before Driving 195
