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.
L
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 trunk
of
your vehicle. In
a
trunk, put them
as far
forward
as
you can.
'Iky
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.
Towing a Trailer
I
If you don't use the correct equipment and drive
properly, you can lose control when you pull
a
trailer. For example, if the trailer is too heavy, the
brakes may not work well
--
or
even at all.
You
and your passengers could be seriously injured.
You may also damage your vehicle; the resulting
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Pull
a
trailer only if
you
have followed all the
steps in this section. Ask your dealer for advice
and information about towing a trailer with
your vehicle.
Do not tow a trailer if your vehicle is equipped with
3800 (L67) supercharged engine.
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if it is equipped with the
proper trailer towing equipment. To identify what the
vehicle trailering capacity
is for
your
vehicle, you
should read the information in "Weight
of the Trailer"
that appears later in this section. But trailering
is
different than just driving your vehicle by itself.
