FORD 2013 Escape v.1 - Manual (Page 187)

Special Loading Instructions for
Owners of Pick-up Trucks and
Utility-type Vehicles
WARNING
Loaded vehicles may handle
differently than unloaded vehicles.
Extra precautions, such as slower
speeds and increased stopping distance,
should be taken when driving a heavily
loaded vehicle.
Your vehicle can haul more cargo and
people than most passenger cars.
Depending upon the type and placement
of the load, hauling cargo and people may
raise the center of gravity of the vehicle.
