WARNING
Heavy loads will influence the way your vehicle handles and increase stopping distances.
Heavy loads that are not properly stowed or secured can cause loss of control and serious
injury.
Secure the load properly to keep it from shifting.
Always remember when transporting heavy objects that a change in the center of gravity
also changes the way your vehicle handles:
– Always distribute the load as evenly as possible.
– Secure heavy objects properly as far forward in the luggage compartment as possible.
– Always tie down heavy items securely with suitable straps using the tie-downs in the
luggage compartment.
– Securely latch the rear seat backrest in the upright position.
Never exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating or the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating on the
safety compliance sticker on the left door jamb. Exceeding permissible weight can cause the
vehicle to skid and handle differently.
Always adapt your speed and driving to the heavier load and the weight distribution in the
vehicle. Take road, weather, traffic, and visibility conditions into account as well.
Always accelerate gently and avoid sudden braking and driving maneuvers.
Always brake earlier than you would if you were not driving a loaded vehicle.
Stowing luggage
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
Always stow all luggage securely in the vehicle
Distribute the load in the vehicle and in the trailer as evenly as possible.
Put heavy objects as far forward as possible in the luggage compartment and securely latch the
rear seat backrest in the upright position.
Secure luggage in the luggage compartment to the tie-downs with suitable straps ⇒ Luggage
compartment.
Adjust the headlight range
Check the pressure in all 4 tires when the tires are still cold. Never reduce air pressure in warm
tires to match cold tire inflation pressure. Heed the information on the tire pressure label ⇒ Tires and
wheels.
Pay especially close attention to your vehicle's Tire Pressure Monitoring System when driving with
a heavy load ⇒ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
NOTICE
The defroster heating wires or antenna in the rear window can be damaged by objects that rub
against them.
Please review information about loading a trailer ⇒ Trailer towing and a roof rack ⇒ Roof rack.
