WARNING
Load or trailer may affect handling and stability.
Do not exceed the maximum load ratings for thecargo bed , trailer tongue, or vehicle.
When loaded with cargo or towing a trailer: Reduce speed and allow more room to stop.
Turn gradually and slowly.
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Secure cargo so that it will not shift - a loose loadcould change handling unexpectedly or be thrown
forward and strike occupants.
Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side to side and as low as possible. Top-heavy loads increase the risk of a
rollover.
Do not tow or pull objects from any point other than the trailer hitch bracket or winch (if installed).
Read Owner’s Manual before loading, towing, or pulling objects.
Improper use of cargo bed or
cage/frame can result
in severe injury or
death from loss of
control, overturn or
other accidents.
Maximum Load in Cargo Bed: 600 lbs (272 kg)
Maximum Vehicle Load: 981 lbs (445 kg)
Never carry

AVERTISSEMENT
Charge maximale dans la caisse : 272 kg (600 lbs)
Charge maximale du véhicule : 445 kg (981 lbs)
Une charge ou une remorque peut nuire à la maniabilité et
à l’équilibre du véhicule.
Lors du transport d’une charge ou lors du remorquage :
Lire le Manuel du propriétaire avant de charger le véhicule,
de tirer ou de remorquer une charge.– Ne pas dépasser la limite de charge nominale pour la caisse
de chargement, le timon et le véhicule.– Réduire la vitesse et prévoir une distance de freinage accrue.– Négocier les virages progressivement et lentement.
– Éviter les pentes et les terrains accidentés.– Arrimer solidement toute charge – un article mal arrimé
pourrait nuire soudainement à la maniabilité ou être projeté
vers l’avant et heurter un occupant.– Répartir le poids de la charge de façon équilibrée et le plus
bas possible dans la caisse; une charge mal équilibrée augmente
le risque de capotage.– Ne tirer ni ne remorquer aucun objet d’un point autre que la
fixation du timon ou le treuil (le cas échéant).Le mauvais usage de la caisse de chargement ou de l’arceau de
protection peut provoquer de graves blessures ou la mort par suite
d’une perte de contrôle, d’un capotage ou d’un accident quelconque.
Aucun passager

Prepare your vehicle
Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operat-
ing condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an ac-
cident or equipment damage. See page 5-1 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. Re- fer 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 pos-
sible.
Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose load could change handling unexpectedly or be thrown forward and strike occupants.1XP7C_EE.book Page 3 Monday, June 9, 2014 5:17 PM
