Operating when loaded with cargo or towing a
trailer
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 to
keep the vehicle in low gear whenever you are car-
rying heavier loads or when towing a trailer.
WARNING
Carrying loads or towing a trailer can increase
the risk of loss of control, an overturn, or other
accident. To reduce the risk of an accident:
G
Reduce speed, operate in low gear only,
and allow more room to stop. A heavier ve-
hicle takes longer to stop.
G
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose ter-
rain carefully. Use extreme caution when
towing or carrying a load on inclines.
G
Turn gradually and go slowly.
