{ CAUTION:

Things you put inside your vehicle can strike

and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or

in a crash.

• Put things in the cargo area of your

vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.

• Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,

inside the vehicle so that some of them

are above the tops of the seats.

• Do not leave an unsecured child restraint

in your vehicle.

• When you carry something inside the

vehicle, secure it whenever you can.

• Do not leave a seat folded down unless

you need to.

There is also important loading information for

off-road driving in this manual. See “Loading Your

Vehicle for Off-Road Driving“ under Off-Road

Driving on page 4-12.

Two-Tiered Loading

Depending on the model of your pick-up, you can

create an upper load platform by positioning

two or four 2 inches (5 cm) by 6 inches (15 cm)

wooden planks across the width of the pickup box.

The planks must be inserted in the pickup box

depressions. The length of the planks must allow

for at least a 3/4 inch (2 cm) bearing surface

on each end of the plank.

When using this upper load platform, be sure the

load is securely tied down to prevent it from

shifting. The load’s center of gravity should be

positioned in a zone over the rear axle. The zone

is located in the area between the front of each

wheel well and the rear of each wheel well.

The center of gravity height must not extend above

the top of the pickup box ﬂareboard.

Any load that extends beyond the vehicle’s

taillamp area must be properly marked according

to local laws and regulations.

Remember not to exceed the Gross Axle Weight

Rating (GAWR) of the front or rear axle.
