LOADING AND UNLOADING
ý
WARNING
• Firmly engage the park brake before loading the vehicle.
• Do not allow riders in the cargo bed.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of the vehicle. Rated capacity is for level surfaces only.
• Overloading can affect vehicle handling or cause component failure, resulting in loss of
control of vehicle and possible severe personal injury.
• Reduce vehicle load and speed when driving up or down slopes or on uneven terrain.
• Reduce speed and avoid sudden stops when backing up. Failure to do so may cause the
vehicle to overturn or flip over backwards.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when loaded. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts, or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning may cause vehicle to
overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
• Do not load the tailgate. The tailgate should be in the upright position and latched securely
while the vehicle is in motion.
• To help avoid shifting the vehicle load and possibly overturning the vehicle, avoid sudden
starts, sudden stops, and abrupt turns.
• The cargo’s center of gravity may affect the handling, steering, and braking of the vehicle.
When the vehicle is loaded, reduce speed and drive slowly in turns.
• To help prevent cargo from shifting and possibly injuring a passenger or affecting the
vehicle’s handling, make sure cargo is well secured.
• Avoid top-heavy loads. The center of gravity of a load should never exceed 15 inches (38 cm)
above the bottom of the cargo bed.
• Unload cargo bed before raising vehicle with a lift, hoist, or jack.
When loading the vehicle, center and secure cargo as far forward as possible in the cargo bed. Do not over-
load the vehicle.
