2-5. Driving information
CAUTION
Storage precautions
■
Never allow anyone to ride in the rear deck. It is not designed for pas-
●
sengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly
fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or seri-
ous bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or
an accident.
Capacity and distribution
■
Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle
●
weight rating.
Even if the total load of occupant's weight and the cargo load is less
●
than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper
loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control which
may cause death or serious injury.
