Loading
Take extra precautions when driving with a
load or trailer. Follow these instructions and
always use common sense and good judg-
ment when carrying cargo or towing a trailer.
Prepare your load or trailer
WARNING
Improper loading or towing can increase
the risk of loss of control, an overturn, or
other accident:
● Do not exceed the Maximum Loading
Limits for the vehicle (see box or vehi-
cle labeling).
● Keep weight in the cargo bed centered
side to side, and as low and as far for-
ward as possible. Top-heavy loads in-
crease the risk of overturn. Be sure
cargo is secured – a loose load could
change handling unexpectedly or
strike occupants.
● Do not exceed the maximum tongue
weight.
● Make sure the load does not interfere
with your control or ability to see
where you are going.
● Tie down cargo in the trailer securely.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot
move around. A shifting load can
cause an accident.
