LOADING YOUR VEHICLE
FOR OFF-ROAD DRIVING
There are some important things
to remember about how to load
your vehicle.
• The heaviest things should be
on the floor and forward of
your rear axle. Put heavier
items as far forward as you can.
• Be sure the load is secured
properly, so driving on the off-
road terrain doesn't toss things
around.

CAUTION
• Cargo on the load floor piled
higher than the seatbacks can
be thrown forward during a
sudden stop. You or your pas-
sengers could be injured.
Secure all cargo below the
top of the seatback.
• Unsecured cargo on the load
floor can be tossed about
when driving over rough ter-
rain. You or your passengers
can be struck by flying
objects. Secure the cargo
properly.
CAUTION
(Continued)
• Heavy loads on the roof raise
the vehicle's center of gravity,
making it more likely to roll
over. You can be seriously or
fatally injured if the vehicle
rolls over. Put heavy loads
inside the cargo area, not on
the roof. Keep cargo in the
cargo area as far forward and
low as possible.
