Transporting heavy items causes the handling characteristics of the vehicle to change by shift‐
ing the vehicle's center of gravity.
Always distribute luggage evenly and as low as possible within the vehicle. The vehicle capac‐
ity weight figures apply when the load is distributed evenly in the vehicle (passengers and
luggage).
Always stow luggage and heavy items in the luggage compartment as far forward of the rear
axle as possible and secure them with appropriate straps to the tie-downs provided.
Secure the load properly to keep it from shifting.
Never exceed the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or Gross Axle Weight Ratings, which
are printed on the Safety Compliance Certification Label located on the door jamb of the driver
door. Exceeding the permissible weight can cause the vehicle to skid and behave differently.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to accommodate your payload and its weight distri‐
bution within your vehicle.
Be especially cautious and gentle when stepping on the accelerator pedal and avoid sudden
braking and other maneuvers.
Brake earlier than you would if you were not driving a loaded vehicle.
NOTE
The defroster heating wires or antenna in the rear window can be damaged by objects that rub
against them.
The ventilation slots in the luggage compartment must not be blocked so that stale air can es‐
cape from the vehicle.
