WARNING
The vehicle handling, stability and braking distance are affected when
loading racks and using the vehicle. Correct loading and weight distribu-
tion are therefore important. Never overload, tow or carry cargo improp-
erly. Always ensure the cargo is safely secured and properly distributed
on the racks before operating the vehicle. Safely reduce speed according
to terrain conditions when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater
distance for breaking. Always secure cargo as low as possible on the racks
to reduce the effect of a higher center of gravity. Failure to follow the
recommendations here could cause changes in vehicle handling which
could lead to an accident resulting in severe injuries including the possi-
bility of death. For more information, see the
Safety Handbook .
