Driving tips
Traveling to remote areas
(Continued)
WARNING - Cargo
Cargo piled close to the height of
or higher than) the seat backs
It makes sense to plan your trip, espe-
cially 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 45 kg (100
lbs.). Heavy loads in a roof rack
raise the vehicle’s center of grav-
ity, 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.

(
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.
Unsecured cargo in the cargo
area can be tossed about when
driving on the highways or over
rough terrain.You or your passen-
gers can be struck by flying
objects
and severely injured.
Secure the cargo properly.
