Starting and Operating Instructions
■ VEHICLE LOADING
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 and
try to spread the weight evenly.
Never stack things inside the
vehicle any higher than the
seatbacks. Do not leave
unsecured child restraints inside
the vehicle. Try to secure
anything that is carried inside
the vehicle. Do not leave a seat
folded down unless you have
to.
It is very important to know how
much weight your vehicle can
carry.
This weight is called the Vehicle
Capacity Weight.
This figure includes the weight of
all occupants, cargo and all
nonfactory-installed options.
NOTICE
Your vehicle’s warranty does
not cover parts or components
that fail because of overloading.
CAUTION
The components of your
vehicle are designed to provide
satisfactory service if the vehicle
is not loaded in excess of the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
Also, do not exceed the front or
rear Gross Axle Weight Ratings.
Overloading can result in loss of
vehicle control and personal
injury. It can also shorten the
service life of your vehicle.
