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 distrib-
uted as possible.
Secure the load on the cargo rack. Do not secure cargo to other parts of the ve-
hicle. If it is not properly secured, a load may slide or fall off, possibly striking oc-
cupants or bystanders; or it may shift during riding, affecting the handling of the
vehicle.
Objects that are high may affect visibility for the driver and may act as projectiles
in case of an accident. Loads that protrude sideways can get snagged or caught
in bush, branches or other obstacles. Avoid covering and obstructing the brake
lights with the cargo. Ensure no cargo protrudes outside the cargo rack and that
cargo will not interfere with your visibility or control of the vehicle.

Never carry gasoline container(s) or any dangerous liquids on the cargo rack.

Never pull a load by attaching it to the bumper; 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 vehicle, refer
to
Recovery Hooks .
When pulling loads with a chain or cable, ensure that there is no slack before
starting and maintain tension while pulling.
