WARNING
Proper loading of your vehicle is im-

your vehicle, such as handling,
braking, performance and safety. Do
not carry loosely packed items that
can shift. Securely pack your heavi-
est items close to the center of the
vehicle, and distribute the weight
evenly from side to side. Properly
adjust the suspension for your load,
and check the condition and pres-
sure of your tires. NEVER OVER-

that the total weight of the cargo, rid-

vehicle could cause tire damage, an
