CARGO AND LUGGAGE Stowage precautions When stowing cargo and luggage in or on the vehicle, observe the following: D Put cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment when at all possible. Be sure all items are secured in place. D Be careful to keep the vehicle level. Placing the weight as far forward as possible helps maintain vehicle balance. D For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight. Towing capacity means the maximum gross trailer weight (trailer weight plus its cargo weight) that your vehicle is able to tow. Cargo capacity Cargo capacity may increase or decrease depending on the size (weight) and the number of occupants. For details, see "Capacity and distribution" that follows. CAUTION Do not apply the load more than each load limit. That may cause not only damage to the tires, but also deterioration to the steering ability and braking ability, which may cause an accident. CAUTION D To prevent cargo and luggage from sliding forward during braking, do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the seatbacks. Keep cargo and luggage low, as close to the floor as possible. 329
