104) Do not load your car any heavier than
the gross vehicle weight rating or the front
and rear gross axle weight rating. If you do,
parts on your car can break, or it can change
the way your car handles. This could cause
you to lose control. Also overloading can
shorten the life of your car. Do not exceed
the maximum load for the car and trailer
combination. The maximum towable load
9650290
is only permitted if it does not exceed the
maximum load of the combination.
