checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the ambient

Proper loading of your vehicle is im-
portant for several characteristics of
your vehicle, such as handling,
braking, performance and safety. Do

est items close to the center of the
vehicle, and distribute the weight
evenly from side to side. Properly
adjust the suspension for your load,
and check the condition and pres-
sure of your tires. NEVER OVER-

that the total weight of the cargo, rid-
er, passenger, and accessories
