Carrying Loads
Any load carried on the vehicle will affect the handling, stability and braking
distance of the vehicle. For this reason, do not exceed the load limits of the
vehicle's manufacturer. Refer to MAXIMUM LOADS table below. Always make
sure the load is secured, properly distributed and cannot interfere with your
proper control Always be aware that the "load" may slide or fall off and create
an accident. Avoid loads that may protrude sideways and get snagged or
caught in brush or other obstacles. Avoid covering and obstructing the
headlights or brake light with the cargo.
Safely reduce speed according to terrain conditions when carrying cargo or
pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking. Always secure cargo as low
as possible the back container.
