SECURING THE LOAD
There are tie down hooks located in the cargo
area as shown. The tie down hooks can be used
to secure cargo with ropes or other types of
straps.
Do not apply a total load of more than 4 lb
(2 kg) to a single hook when securing
cargo.
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
collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
• The child restraint top tether strap may
be damaged by contact with items in
the cargo area. Secure any items in the
cargo area. Your child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in a collision if
the top tether strap is damaged.
• 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.
LOADING TIPS
• The GVW must not exceed the GVWR or
GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.S.S./
C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
• Do not load the front and rear axle to the
GAWR. Doing so will exceed the GVWR.
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
collision, 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.
• Overloading not only can shorten the
life of your vehicle and the tire, but can
cause unsafe vehicle handling and lon-
ger braking distances. This may cause
a premature tire failure, which could
result in a serious accident and per-
sonal injury. Failures caused by over-
loading are not covered by the vehi-
cle’s warranty.
