{CAUTION:

Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the

GVWR, or either the maximum front or rear

GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can

break, and it can change the way your vehicle

handles. These could cause you to lose

control and crash. Also, overloading can

shorten the life of your vehicle.

Using heavier suspension components to get added

durability might not change your vehicle’s weight ratings.

Ask your dealer to help you load your vehicle the

right way.

Notice: Overloading your vehicle may cause

damage. Repairs would not be covered by your

warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.

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’s a crash, they’ll keep going.

{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. Try 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.

• Do not leave an unsecured child restraint

in your vehicle.

• When you carry something inside the

vehicle, secure it whenever you can.

• Do not leave a seat folded down unless

you need to.

There’s also important loading information for off-road
