Driving and Operating

Warning
Do not load the vehicle any
heavier than the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR), or either the
maximum front or rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
This can cause systems to
break and change the way the
vehicle handles. This could
cause loss of control and a
crash. Overloading can also
shorten the life of the vehicle.
If you put things inside the
vehicle
—
like suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else
—
they will go as fast as the
vehicle goes. If you have to stop
or turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, they will keep going.
{
Warning
Things inside the vehicle can
strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a
crash.

Put things in the cargo
area of the vehicle. In the
cargo area, put them as
far forward as possible.
Try to spread the weight
evenly.

Never stack heavier
things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above
the tops of the seats.
