Carrying Cargo Carrying Items in the Passenger Compartment Store or secure all items that could be thrown around and hurt someone during a crash. Be sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll under the seats and interfere with the pedals or seat operation. Keep the glove box closed while driving. If it is open, a passenger could injure their knees during a crash or sudden stop. If you lift up the rear seats, follow the instructions above, and be sure to keep cargo height below the bottom of the windows. If cargo is higher, it could interfere with proper operation of the side curtain airbags. Distribute cargo evenly on the floor of the cargo area with the rear seats folded up, 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. Carrying Cargo in the In-Bed Trunk or on a Roof Rack Distribute cargo evenly on the floor in the In-Bed Trunk, placing the heaviest items on the bottom and as far forward as possible. Tie down items that could be thrown during a crash or sudden stop. Make sure the In-Bed Trunk lid is closed securely before driving. Be sure the total weight of the items in the In-Bed Trunk does not exceed 300 lbs (136 kg). If you carry any items on a roof rack, be sure the total weight of the rack and the items does not exceed 165 lbs (75 kg). 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. 184
