Prepare your vehicle
Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe oper-
ating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain th e vehicle properly increases the possibility of an
accident or equipment damage. See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.
Prepare your load
Carrying heavy or over-sized loads can affect hand ling, stability, and cause the risk of overturns
or other accidents.
 Read “Loading” on page 6-12 before loading the cargo bed.
 Do not overload the vehicle or cargo bed.
 Refer to the labels on the vehicle for specific loading limits and recommended tire air pressure.
 Keep heavier objects and the load in general cent ered side to side, and as low and as far for-
ward in the cargo bed as possible.
 Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose load could change handling unexpectedly or be
thrown forward and strike occupants.
 This vehicle is not designed to tow or pull objects. Towing a trailer or pulling another vehicle or
other object will affect handling, stability, an d increase the risk of overturns and accidents.
Towing or pulling can also cause frame and vehicle damage.

EBU35441ParkingWhen parking, shift into first or reverse gear,
stop the engine, and then apply the parking
brake. See page 7-16 for when parking on a
slope.EBU35354LoadingTake extra precautions when driving with a
load. Turn gradually and drive more slowly
than you would without a load. The more
weight you carry, the slower you should go.
Although conditions vary, it is good practice
to keep the vehicle in a low gear when you are
carrying a heavy load. Follow these instruc-
tions and always use common sense and
good judgment when carrying a load.Cargo bed
Use the hooks equipped on the cargo bed
(page 4-32) to tie down loads. Make sure the
load is securely fast
ened down, centered in
the cargo bed, and not top-heavy. Never al-
low anyone to ride in the cargo bed.
WARNING
EWB03923Improper loading or any pulling or towing
will increase the risk of loss of control, an
overturn, or other accident:
 Do not pull objects, other vehicles, or
tow a trailer—this vehicle is not de-
signed for such operation.
 Keep weight in the cargo bed centered
side to side, and as low and as far for-
ward as possible. Top-heavy loads in-
crease the risk of overturn.
 Make sure that cargo is securely fas-
tened down—a loose load could change
handling unexpectedly or strike occu-
pants.
