BATTERY

NOTICE: Heavy use of accessories or leaving accessories turned on when the vehicle is not being used can
drain the battery and leave insufficient reserve to start the vehicle.
The vehicle uses a starter/generator to start the engine and charge the battery. The engine does not idle; so the bat-
tery does not charge while the vehicle is stopped. Do not operate lights and other accessory items excessively while
the vehicle is stopped. Turn off all accessories when the vehicle is stopped.
The generator can supply up to 35 amps. Operation of all accessories can cause the discharge of the battery even if
the engine is running and the generator is operating. Discharging the battery is known as deep cycling. The battery is
not a deep cycle model. It is a starting battery. Multiple deep cycling causes early failure of the battery.
If the battery discharges, charge it with a 12-volt charger that is rated at 10 amps or less and according to the instruc-
tions supplied by the manufacturer of the charger.

HAULING CARGO

Hauling cargo incorrectly can alter the vehicle handling characteristics and cause a loss
of control, brake instability, and possibly lead to serious injury or death.
Never exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle. The total load (operator, pas-
senger, accessories, cargo and load on hitch) must never exceed the maximum weight
capacity of the vehicle. See the chart in Maximum Cargo Load / Maximum Weight Capac-
ity on page 29.
Position the load as far forward, and as low as possible in the truck bed.
Secure all loads before operating. Unsecured loads can shift and create unstable operat-
ing conditions.
ate the vehicle with extra caution.
Always attach a tow load to the rear hitch of the vehicle.
Reduce speed and allow greater distances for braking when hauling cargo.
Heavy loads affect braking and handling characteristics. Use extra caution when apply-
ing brakes with a heavily loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or situations that may require
reverse downhill travel.
Use extra caution when operating with loads that extend over the truck bed sides. Stabil-
ity and maneuverability can be affected and increase the risk of a rollover.
This vehicle is designed to carry or tow specific capacities. Read and comply with the load distribution warnings on the
warning label affixed to the bed. The total load (operator, passenger, accessories, cargo and load on hitch) must never
exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle.
