Prepare your vehicle
Perform the pro-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating
condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident
or equipment damage. See Chapter 5 for a list of pre-operation checks.
Prepare your load or trailer
Carrying loads, towing a trailer or pulling objects can affect handling stability and cause the risk of
overturns or other accidents.
● Read Chapter 6 before loading, towing or pulling objects.
● Do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Refer to label in cargo bed for cargo bed limit. Refer to
label next to hitch for tongue weight and trailer load limits.
● Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side to side, and as low and as far forward as possi-
ble.
● Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose load could change handling unexpectedly or
be thrown forward and strike occupants.
