If you put things inside your vehicle – like suitcases,
tools, packages, or anything else – they will go as fast
as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn
quickly, or if there is a crash, they'll keep going.
{
CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or
in a crash.
•
Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.
•
Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that some of them
are above the tops of the seats.
•
Don't leave an unsecured child restraint in
your vehicle.
•
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
•
Don't leave a seat folded down unless you
need to.
Automatic Level Control
On vehicles equipped with the automatic level control,
the rear of the vehicle is automatically kept level as you
load or unload your vehicle. However, you should still
not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR.
If the key is in ACCESSORY, ON or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active, you may hear
the compressor operating when you load your vehicle or
shortly after you start your vehicle, and periodically as
the system self-adjusts. This is normal. See "Retained
Accessory Power (RAP)" under Ignition Positions
on page 2-19 .
The compressor should operate for brief periods of time.
If the sound continues for an extended period of time
(longer than one minute) or occurs many times
within one trip, your vehicle needs service.
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.
