OPERATING WITH A LOAD ON THE VEHICLE
The weight of both cargo and vehicle occupants impacts vehicle operation and
stability. For your safety and the safety of others, carefully consider how your
vehicle is loaded and how to safely operate the vehicle. Follow the instructions in
this manual for loading, tire pressure, gear selection and speed.
• Do not exceed vehicle weight capacities. The vehicle’s maximum weight
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.
Always follow these guidelines:
