LOAD CARRYING

WARNING
Never allow passengers to travel in the loadspace under any circumstances. All vehicle occupants should be seated correctly and should wear a seat belt at all times when the vehicle is in motion. Failure to do so can lead to serious injury or death in the event of an accident.
WARNING
All items carried in the vehicle should be properly secured. An accident, sudden braking, or change of direction can cause loose items to move. Loose objects in the vehicle can cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
