OPERATING WITH A LOAD ON THE VEHICLE
The weight of both cargo and passengers impacts vehicle operation. For your

how to safely operate the vehicle. Follow the instructions in this manual for
loading, tire pressure, gear selection and speed.

capacity is listed in the specifications section of this manual and on a label on
the vehicle. When more passenger weight is added, cargo weight may need
to be reduced accordingly.

manual and on a label on the vehicle.
