WARNING
Make sure the engine is off, the shift
button is in P (Park), and the parking
brake is securely applied whenever
loading or unloading cargo. Failure
to take these steps may allow the
vehicle to move if the shift button
is inadvertently moved to another
position.
CAUTION

[Be careful when loading cargo

shift to a lower gear for additional engine
braking and stop the vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
