• Overloading your vehicle can
cause increased stopping dis-
tances that could lead to a

ous injury or death.
WARNING - Loose cargo
Items you carry inside your
vehicle can strike and injure
occupants in a sudden stop or
turn, or in a crash.

your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.

you load your vehicle the right
way.
