LOADING
Take extra precautions when driving with a load or trailer. Follow these instructions and always use
common sense and good judgment when carrying cargo or towing a trailer.
Prepare your load or trailer. Improper loading or towing can increase the risk of loss of control, an
over turn or other accidents.
Do not exceed the maximum loading limits for the vehicle (Refer to the loading label on the
vehicle).
Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side‐to‐side, and as low and as far forward as possible.
Top‐heavy loads increase the risk of overturn. Be sure the cargo is secured;
loose loads could change the handling of the vehicle or come loose and strike the occupant.
Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight.
Make sure the load does not interfere with your control or ability to see where you are going.
Tie down the cargo in the trailer so that it cannot move around. A shifting load can cause and
accident.
