slope.

Loading

Take extra precautions when driving with a
load. Turn gradually and drive more slowly
than you would without a load. The more
weight you carry, the slower you should go.

Although conditions vary, it is good practice
to keep the vehicle in a low gear when you are
carrying a heavy load. Follow these instruc-
tions and always use common sense and
good judgment when carrying a load.
Cargo bed
Use the hooks equipped on the cargo bed
(page 5-27) to tie down loads. Make sure the
load is securely fastened down, centered in
the cargo bed, and not top-heavy. Never al-
low anyone to ride in the cargo bed.

WARNING
Improper loading or any pulling or towing
will increase the risk of loss of control, an
overturn, or other accident:
 Do not pull objects, other vehicles, or
tow a trailer—this vehicle is not de-
signed for such operation.
 Keep weight in the cargo bed centered
side to side, and as low and as far for-
ward as possible. Top-heavy loads in-
crease the risk of overturn.
 Make sure that cargo is securely fas-
tened down—a loose load could change
handling unexpectedly or strike occu-
pants.
