3) Loading the Cargo
Racks
NOTICE
When loading or unload-
ing, do not exceed the weight limit
of 109 kg (240 lb) for rear load and
54 kg (120 lb) for front load.
Load cargo as low as possible – a
higher load can raise the vehicle’s
center of gravity, which can reduce
stability. Position cargo on the rack as
evenly as possible.
Secure the load on the cargo rack. Do
not secure cargo to parts of the vehi-
cle. If it is not properly secured, a load
may slide or fall off, possibly striking
occupants or bystanders; or it may
shift during riding, affecting the han-
dling of the vehicle.
Objects that are high may affect visibil-
ity for the driver and may act as projec-
tiles in case of an accident. Loads that
protrude sideways can get snagged or
caught in bush, branches or other ob-
stacles. Avoid covering and obstruct-
ing the brake lights with the cargo.
Ensure no cargo protrudes outside the
cargo rack and that cargo will not inter-
fere with your visibility or control of the
vehicle.
Do not overload cargo rack.
Never carry gasoline container(s) or
any dangerous liquids on the cargo
rack.
4) Hauling a Load
Never pull a load by attaching it to the
bumper or luggage racks; this can
cause the vehicle to tip over. Use only
the trailer hitch (if installed) to pull a
load.
In an emergency situation, use the
recovery hook to recover a stuck ve-
hicle. Refer to
RECOVERY HOOKS
in
EQUIPMENT
subsection.
When pulling loads with a chain or ca-
ble, ensure that there is no slack before
starting and maintain tension while
pulling.
When pulling loads with a chain or ca-
ble, be sure to brake progressively.
The inertia of the load could lead to an
impact.
When hauling a load, respect the maxi-
mum hauling capacity. See
PULLING
A TRAILER
subsection.
WARNING
Slack can cause the chain or cable
to break and snap back.
