If you put things inside your vehicle — like
suitcases, tools, packages, or anything
else — they 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 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.
•
Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
•
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
•
Do not leave a seat folded down
unless you need to.

There is also important loading information for
off-road driving in this manual. See "Loading Your
Vehicle for Off-Road Driving" under Off-Road
Driving on page 317.
Add-On Equipment
When you carry removable items, you may need
to put a limit on how many people you can carry
inside your vehicle. Be sure to weigh your vehicle
before you buy and install the new equipment.
Notice: Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.
Remember not to exceed the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) of the front or rear axle.
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry. It does not
include the weight of the people inside. But you can
figure about 150 lbs (68 kg) for each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle's CWR.
