Loading tips

► The GVW must not exceed GVWR
or GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.
S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
► Do not load the front and rear axle
to the GAWR. Doing so will exceed
the GVWR.
WARNING
► Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than the
seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
► Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR or the
maximum front and rear GAWRs.
If you do, parts of your vehicle can
break, tire damage could occur, or
it can change the way your vehicle
handles. This could result in loss
of control and cause personal
injury.
► Overloading not only can shorten
the life of your vehicle and the
tire, but can cause unsafe vehicle
handling and long braking distance.
This may cause a premature
tire failure, which could result in a
serious accident and personal injury.
Failures caused by overloading
are not covered by the
vehicle’s warranty.
