WARNING
Improper use of cargo bed or cage/frame, or improperly
loading a trailer or pulling an object can result in severe
injury or death from loss of control, overturn or other
accidents.
 Do not carry passengers in cargo bed.
 Maximum load in cargo bed: 205 kg (450 lb).
 Load or trailer may affect handling and stability:
 Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose load
could change handling unexpectedly or be thrown
forward and strike occupants.
 Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side to side,
and as low and as far forward as possible. Top-
heavy loads increase the risk of overturn.
 Do not tow or pull objects from any point other than
the trailer hitch bracket or winch (if installed).
 Never load more than 50 kg (110 lb) tongue weight
on the towing bracket.
 Do not tow more than 550 kg (1212 lb) rolling
weight (trailer plus cargo).
 When loaded with cargo or towing a trailer:
 Reduce speed and allow more room to stop.
 Turn gradually and go slowly.
 Avoid hills and rough terrain. Read Owner’s Manual before loading, towing, or pulling
objects.

L’utilisation incorrecte de la benne ou de l’arceau de sécurité, le
mauvais chargement d’une remorque ou la traction d’un objet
peut entraîner des blessures ou la mort en raison d’une perte
de contrôle, d’un capotage ou d’un autre accident.
 Ne jamais transporter de passager dans la benne.
 Charge maximale de la benne : 205 kg (450 lb).
 Une charge ou une remorque peut modifier la maniabilité
et l’équilibre.
 Arrimer solidement tout chargement – un chargement
mal arrimé pourrait modifier soudainement la maniabilité
ou être projeté vers l’avant et frapper un occupant.
 Disposer la charge le plus à l’avant et le plus bas
possible, et la distribuer uniformément et latéralement
dans la benne. Une charge mal équilibrée augmente le
risque de capotage.
 Ne tirer ou remorquer d’objet d’aucun autre point que
la fixation de l’attelage de remorque ou le treuil
(le cas échéant).
 Ne jamais dépasser le poids en flèche de 50 kg (110 lb)
du dispositif d’attelage.
 Ne pas remorquer une charge totale de plus de
550 kg (1212 lb) (remorque plus chargement).
 Lors du transport d’une charge ou d’un remorquage :
 Réduire sa vitesse et prévoir une distance de freinage
plus grande.
 Prendre les virages progressivement et lentement.
 Éviter les collines et les terrains accidentés.
 Lire le manuel du propriétaire avant de charger le véhicule,
ou de tirer ou remorquer une charge.

Prepare your vehicle
Perform the pre-operation checks each time you
use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating
condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle
properly increases the possibility of an accident or
equipment damage. See pages 5-1–5-2 for a list of
pre-operation checks.
Prepare your load or trailer
Carrying loads, towing a trailer, or pulling objects
can affect handling, stability, and cause the risk of
overturns or other accidents.
Read Chapter 6 before loading, towing, or
pulling objects.
Do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Refer
to label in cargo bed for cargo bed load limit.
Refer to label next to hitch for tongue weight
and trailer load limits.
Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side
to side, and as low and as far forward as
possible.
Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose
load could change handling unexpectedly or
be thrown forward and strike occupants.

Prepare your load or trailer
WARNING
Improper loading or towing can increase the
risk of loss of control, an overturn, or other ac-
cident:

Do not exceed the Maximum Loading Lim-
its for the vehicle (see page 6-33 and vehi-
cle labeling).


Keep weight in the cargo bed centered
side to side, and as low and as far forward
as possible. Top-heavy loads increase the
risk of overturn. Be sure cargo is secured –
a loose load could change handling unex-
pectedly or strike occupants.


Do not exceed the maximum tongue
weight.


Make sure the load does not interfere with
your control or ability to see where you are
going.


Tie down cargo in the trailer securely.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move
around. A shifting load can cause an acci-
dent.
