Driving tips
Traveling to remote areas
(Continued)
WARNING - Cargo
It  makes  sense   to  plan  your   trip,
especially  when  going to  a  remote
area. Know the terrain and plan your
route. You   are  much  less  likely  to
encounter  unwanted  surprises.  Get
accurate maps of trails.
It’s also a  good idea to travel with  at
least one other  vehicle. If something
happens  to one  of  them,  the other
can quickly help.
Cargo  should  not  be  carried
on  the roof  without  a  proper
roof  rack  installed.  The   roof
rack  will hold  a  maximum  of
Cargo piled close to the height
of  (or  higher   than)  the  seat
backs can  be  thrown forward
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.

kg  (100 lbs.).  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.
Unsecured cargo in  the cargo
area   can   be   tossed   about
when driving on the highways
or  over rough  terrain. You  or
your
passengers
can
be
struck  by  flying  objects  and
severely  injured.   Secure  the
cargo properly.
