Hauling Cargo

WARNING

Overloading the vehicle or carrying or towing cargo improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability. Always follow these precautions when hauling cargo.

  • Read and understand the load distribution warnings listed on the vehicle warning labels.

  • Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle. When determining the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the weight of the operator, passenger, accessories, loads in the rack or box and the load on the trailer tongue. The combined weight of these items must not exceed the maximum weight capacity.

  • REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING WHEN HAULING CARGO OR TOWING. Use extreme caution when applying brakes. Avoid situations that require backing downhill.

  • WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION on models with front and rear racks should be 1/3 on the front rack and 2/3 on the rear rack. Carrying loads on only one rack increases the possibility of vehicle overturn.

  • CARRY LOADS AS LOW ON THE RACKS AS POSSIBLE. Carrying loads high on the racks raises the center of gravity of the vehicle and creates a less stable operating condition.

  • SECURE ALL LOADS BEFORE OPERATING. Unsecured loads can create unstable operating conditions, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.

  • OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS. When handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered, securely fasten the load and operate with extra caution. Always attach the tow load to the hitch point designated for your vehicle.

  • HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. Use extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or situations that may require backing downhill.

  • USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating with loads that extend over the rack sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing the vehicle to overturn.

  • Towing is approved OFF-ROAD ONLY unless your vehicle is approved for on-road operation.

  • TOWING SPEED should never exceed 16 km/h. Never exceed 8 km/h when towing loads in rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or descending hills.

  1. Always read and understand the load distribution warning labels on the vehicle. Never exceed the weight capacities specified for the vehicle.

  2. Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward as possible.

  3. Always operate the vehicle with extreme caution whenever hauling or towing loads. Balance, handling and control may be affected.

  4. NEVER exceed 16 km/h when rear cargo loads are above 91 kg.

  5. Make sure the cargo box dump latch is securely latched before loading and operating. Unintentional dumping will result if weight is placed in the rear of the box and the latch is not secured.

  6. Always attach a towed load to the hitch point.
