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 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.
Driving with an open trunk lid
Driving with an open trunk lid can lead to serious personal injury. If you have to drive with an open
trunk lid, make sure that all objects and the trunk lid itself are properly secured and take appropriate
measures to keep toxic exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle.
WARNING
Driving with an unlatched or open trunk lid can lead to serious personal injury.
Never transport objects larger than those that fit completely in the luggage compartment, be‐
cause the trunk lid cannot be fully closed properly.
After closing the trunk lid, always pull up on it to make sure that it is properly closed and can‐
not open suddenly when the vehicle is moving.
Always stow all objects securely in the luggage compartment. Loose objects can fall out of the
luggage compartment and injure others on the road behind you.
Drive carefully; anticipate what other drivers will do.
Avoid abrupt or sudden acceleration, steering, or braking, because the unlatched trunk lid can
move suddenly.
Always mark objects sticking out from the luggage compartment clearly for others to see.
Obey all applicable legal requirements.
Never use the trunk lid to clamp or hold objects that stick out of the luggage compartment.
Always remove any luggage rack or other rack mounted on the trunk lid (along with any lug‐
gage on the rack) before driving with an open trunk lid.
