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:
Your warranty does not cover parts or
components that fail because
of
overloading.
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.
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.
Don’t leave an unsecured child restraint
in
your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure
it
whenever you can.
Don’t leave a seat folded down unless you
need to.
