2-8. Driving Tips
Driving on Uneven Road
Use care not to damage the vehicle’s underbody, bumpers or muf-
fler(s) when driving under the following conditions:
●Ascending or descending a slope with a sharp transition angle
● Ascending or descending a driveway or trailer ramp with a sharp
transition angle
Your vehicle’s suspension and underbody can be damaged if
driven on rough/uneven roads or over speed bumps at exces-
sive speeds. Use care and reduce speed when traveling on
rough/uneven roads or over speed bumps.
NOTICE
This vehicle is equipped with low prof ile tires allowing class-leading perfor-
mance and handling. As a result, the sidewall of the tires are very thin and
the tires and wheels can be damaged if driven through potholes or on
rough/uneven roads at excessive speeds. Use care and reduce speed
when traveling on rough/uneven roads or through potholes.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating) is the maximum allowable
weight of the vehicle - including all cargo and passengers - that the
vehicle can handle without risking damage. The GCW must never
exceed the GCWR.
WARNING
■Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle
Towing a trailer with this vehicle is dangerous because it has not been
designed to tow a trailer and doing so will affect the drive system which
could result in vehicle damage.
■Overloaded Vehicle
Overloading a vehicle is dangerous. The results of overloading can
have serious consequences in terms of passenger safety. Too much
weight on a vehicle’s suspension system can cause spring or shock
absorber failure, brake failure, handling or steering problems, irregular
tire wear, tire failure or other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to drive and control. It also
increases the distance required for stopping. In cases of serious over-
loading, brakes can fail completely, particularly on steep grades. The
load a tire will carry safely is a combination of the size of the tire, its load
range, and corresponding inflation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always observe the vehicle’s weight rat-
ings from the vehicle’s Safety Certification and Tire and Load Informa-
tion labels.
■Never Exceed Axle Weight Rating Limits
Exceeding the Safety Certification Label axle weight rating limits is dan-
gerous and could result in death or serious injury as a result of substan-
dard vehicle handling, performance, engine, transmission and/or
structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, or loss of control.
Always keep the vehicle within the axle weight rating limits.
■Never Exceed GVWR or GAWR Specifications
Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label is
dangerous. Exceeding any vehicle rating limitation could result in a seri-
ous accident, injury, or damage to the vehicle.
Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than
the originals because they may lower the vehicle’s GVWR and GAWR
limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do
not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations. Never exceed the
GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label.

Steps for Determining the Correct Load
Limit
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit-
(1)Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s
placard.
(2)Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
(3)Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4)The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400
lbs. and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
(5)Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
(6)If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how
this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.
