Warning

Do not load the vehicle any
heavier than the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR), or either the
maximum front or rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
This can cause systems to
break and change the way the
vehicle handles. This could
cause loss of control and a
crash. Overloading can also
shorten the life of the vehicle.

If you put things inside the
vehicle

like suitcases, tools,

packages, or anything
else

they will go as fast as the

vehicle goes. If you have to stop
or turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, they will keep going.

{

Warning

Things inside the vehicle can
strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a
crash.

.

Put things in the cargo
area of the vehicle. In the
cargo area, put them as
far forward as possible.
Try to spread the weight
evenly.

unsecured child restraint
