Your warranty does not cover
parts or components that fail
because of overloading.
The label will help you decide
how much cargo and installed
equipment your vehicle can
carry.
Using heavier suspension
components to get added
durability might not change your
weight ratings. Ask your dealer
to help you load your vehicle the
right way.
If you put things inside your
vehicle – like suitcases,
tools, packages, or anything
else – they will go as fast as the
vehicle goes. If you have to stop
or turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, they will keep going.
{
WARNING
Things inside the vehicle can
strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a
crash.
. Put things in the cargo
area of the vehicle. In the
cargo area, put them as
far forward as possible.
Try to spread the weight
evenly.
. Never stack heavier
things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above
the tops of the seats.

WARNING (Continued)
. Do not leave an
unsecured child restraint
in the vehicle.
. Secure loose items in the
vehicle.
