Driving tips
CAUTION
WARNING - Over loading
WARNING - Loose cargo
•
Overloading your vehicle may
cause damage. Repairs would
not be covered by your war-
ranty. Do not overload your
vehicle.
• Using heavier suspension
components to get added
durability might not change
your weight ratings. Ask your
dealer to help you load your
vehicle the right way.ignored.
•
Never exceed the GVWR for
your vehicle, the GAWR for
either the front or rear axle
and vehicle capacity weight.
Exceeding these ratings can
cause an accident or vehicle
damage. You can calculate the
weight of your load by weigh-
ing the items (or people)
before putting them in the
vehicle. Be careful not to over-
load your vehicle.
If you overload your vehicle,
the tires can suddenly and
without warning fail. The over-
loading can also make your
vehicle unstable and dramati-
cally increase braking dis-
tance.This could cause you to
lose control and crash.
Items you carry inside your
vehicle can strike and injure
occupants in a sudden stop or
sharp turn, or in a crash.
Put items in the trunk of your
vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
Never stack items, like suit-
cases, inside the occupant
compartment.
Do not leave an unsecured
child restraint in your vehicle,
since it can injure occupants
in a crash.

The label will help you decide how
much cargo and installed equipment
your vehicle can carry.
•
When you carry something
inside the vehicle, secure it.
If you carry items inside your vehicle
- like suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else - they are moving as
fast as the vehicle. If you have to stop
or turn quickly, or if there is a crash,
the items will keep going and can
cause an injury if they strike the driv-
er or a passenger.
