D Secure lengthy items properly to prevent them from shooting
forward and causing serious injury during a sudden stop.
D Never exceed the maximum load limit. If you do, some parts on
your vehicle can break, or it can change the way your vehicle
handles. This could result in loss of control and cause personal
injury. Also, overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle.
D Cargo should be evenly distributed over the cargo bed. Keep
heavier items as low and far forward as possible. Loading the
vehicle improperly can deteriorate handling capability and con-
tribute to loss of vehicle control.
D Be sure the cargo is secured properly. Unsecured cargo in the
cargo bed can be thrown around during sudden braking, in a
sharp turn or during rapid acceleration, which could create a dan-
gerous road hazard.
CAUTION
Do not carry spray cans, containers with flammable or corrosive
liquids or any other dangerous items inside the passenger
compartment.
NOTE
For better fuel economy, do not carry unneeded cargo.
