WARNING

The appropriate loading

capacity of your vehicle can

be limited either by volume

capacity (how much space is

available) or by payload capacity

(how much weight the vehicle

should carry). Once you have

reached the maximum payload of

your vehicle, do not add more

cargo, even if there is space

available. Overloading or

improperly loading your vehicle

can contribute to loss of vehicle

control and vehicle rollover.
