Hauling Cargo
Your vehicle is equipped with front and rear cargo racks, and a hitch receiver for towing. Follow these
guidelines for hauling and towing of cargo:
WARNING
Overloading the vehicle, carrying or towing cargo improperly, can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss
of control or brake instability. Always follow these precautions when hauling cargo:
•
Always use low gear while towing to avoid clutch wear and belt issues.
•
Reduce speed when hauling or towing loads.
•
Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle.
•
All loads must be secured before operation. Unsecured loads may shift and create unstable operating
conditions, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.
•
When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain stable driving
conditions�
•
Use extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or situations that may
require backing downhill.
•
Weight distribution on the front and rear racks should be as far forward and as low as possible.
Carrying a high load raises the center of gravity and creates an unstable operating condition. Reduce
load weight when the cargo center of gravity is high. When handling off-centered loads that cannot be
centered, secure the load and operate with extra caution.
