Loading tips
O The GVW must not exceed GVWR or
GAWR as specified on the FMVSS Certi-
fication Label.
O Do not load the front and rear axle to the
GAWR. Doing so will exceed the GVWR.
WARNING
O Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
O Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR or the
maximum front and rear GAWRs.
If you do, parts on your vehicle
can break, or it can change the
way your vehicle handles. This
could result in loss of control and
cause personal injury.
O Overloading can shorten the life
of your vehicle. Failures caused
by overloading are not covered by
your warranty.
TRAILER TOWING
Your new vehicle was designed to be used
primarily to carry passengers and cargo.
Remember that towing a trailer will place
additional loads on your vehicle’s engine,
drive train, steering, braking and other sys-
tems.
Information on trailer towing and the special
equipment required should be obtained from a
professional trailer dealer/installer.
