Chevrolet 2005 SSR Pickup Owner's Manual page 235

CAUTION:
{
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or either
the maximum front or rear Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). If you do, parts on your
vehicle can break, and it can change the way
your vehicle handles. These could cause you
to lose control and crash. Also, overloading
can shorten the life of your vehicle.
Using heavier suspension components to get added
durability might not change your weight ratings. Ask your
dealer to help you load your vehicle the correct way.
Notice: Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.
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 will 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 rear area of your vehicle.
Try to spread the weight evenly.
•
Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
above the tops of the seats inside the
vehicle or in the cargo area when the
convertible top is lowered.
•
If you carry tall objects in the cargo area,
secure them properly and have the
convertible top fastened in the raised
position.
•
Do not leave an unsecured child restraint
in your vehicle.
•
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
