Accessories and loading
Accessories
Accessories can affect the handling and control of your vehicle. Keep the following in mind when
considering an accessory or operating a vehicle which has accessories.
-
Choose only accessories designed for your vehicle.
Our manufactory or dealer has a variety of genuine Frisian Motors accessories. Other
accessories may also be available on the market. However, it is not possible for us to test all
accessories, nor have any control over the quality or suitability of them. Choose a original
Frisian Motors accessory, or one that is equivalent in design and quality.
-
Accessories should be rigidly and securely mounted. An accessory which can shift position or
come off while you are operating could affect your ability to control the vehicle.
-
Do not mount an accessory where it could interfere with your ability to control the vehicle.
Examples include (but are not limited to) an object that limits your ability to turn the steering
wheel or one that limits your view.
-
Use extra caution when driving a vehicle with accessories. The vehicle may handle differently
than it does without accessories.
Loading
Cargo or a trailer can change the stability and handling of a vehicle.
You must use common sense and good judgment when carrying cargo or towing a trailer.
Keep the following points in mind:
-
Never exceed the weight limits shown. An overloaded vehicle can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
-
Vehicle loading limit (total weight of cargo, operator, passenger
and accessories, and tongue weight): 340 kg (639 lb)
-
Cargo bed: 140 kg (308 lb)
-
Load cargo in the cargo bed as close to the center of the vehicle as possible and tie it down using
the cargo hooks equipped on the cargo bed.
-
Make sure the load does not interfere with controls or your ability to see where you are going.
-
Drive more slowly than you would without a load. The more weight you carry, the slower you
should go. Although conditions vary, it is good practice not to exceed low range whenever you
are carrying heavier loads.
-
Allow more braking distance. A heavier vehicle takes longer to stop.
-
Avoid making sharp turns unless at very slow speeds.
-
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain carefully. Added weight affects the stability and
handling of the vehicle.
