WARNING - Cargo
•
Cargo should not be carried
on the roof without a proper
roof rack installed. The roof
rack will hold a maximum of
100 lbs. (45 kg). Heavy loads
in a roof rack raise the vehi-
cle’s center of gravity, making
it more likely to roll over. You
can be seriously or fatally
injured if the vehicle rolls
over. Do not load cargo on the
roof while driving off-road, if
at all possible. Put heavy
loads inside the cargo area,
not on the roof or in a roof
rack. Keep cargo in the cargo
area as far forward and low as
possible.
•
Cargo piled close to the
height of (or higher than) the
seat backs can be thrown for-
ward during a sudden stop or
on downhill slopes. You or
your passengers could be
severely injured. Keep cargo
below the top of the seat
backs and, if possible, do not
pile separate items.
There are some important items to
remember about how to properly load
your vehicle.
•
The heaviest things should be in
the cargo area and forward of your
rear axle. Place heavier items as far
forward as you can.
•
Be sure the load is properly
secured, so driving over off-road
terrain doesn’t shift your load or
throw items toward the driver or
passengers.
•
Unsecured cargo in the cargo
area can be tossed about
when driving on the highways
or over rough terrain. You or
be
your
passengers
can
struck by flying objects and
severely injured. Secure the
cargo properly.
