5. Determine the combined weight of

luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calculated in
Step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,

load from your trailer will be trans-
ferred to your vehicle. Consult this
manual to determine how this re-
duces the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle.

Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm
that you do not exceed the GVWR or the
GAWR for your vehicle. Refer to “Mea-
surement of weights” in this section.

Also check tires for proper inflation pres-
sures. Refer to the “Tire and Loading In-
formation label” in the Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section of this manual.

SECURING THE LOAD

For your convenience, tie down hooks (if so
equipped) are placed at each corner of the truck
box. These may be used to help secure cargo
loaded into the truck box.

WARNING

Properly secure all cargo with ropes or

straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or col-
lision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.

Do not load your vehicle any heavier

than the GVWR or the maximum front
and rear GAWRs. If you do, parts of your
vehicle can break, tire damage could
occur, or it can change the way your
vehicle handles. This could result in loss
of control and cause personal injury.
