Loading
Cargo or a trailer can change the stability and han-
dling of a vehicle.
You must use common sense and good judgment
when carrying cargo or towing a trailer. Keep the
following points in mind:

Never exceed the weight limits shown. An
overloaded vehicle can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT

Vehicle loading limit (total weight of
cargo, operator, passenger and
accessories, and tongue weight):
401 kg (884 lb)
For Europe: 388 kg (855 lb)


Cargo bed: 181 kg (400 lb)


Trailer hitch:
Pulling load (total weight of trailer
and cargo): 550 kgf (1,212 lbf)
Tongue weight (vertical weight on
trailer hitch point): 50 kgf (110 lbf)
EE.book Page 33 Monday, July 11, 2005 2:32 PM

6-35

Choose a trailer hitch drawbar designed for use
with a 5 cm (2 in) receiver. (See page 4-61 for
more information.)


Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight.
You can measure tongue weight with a bath-
room scale. Put the tongue of the loaded trailer
on the scale with the tongue at hitch height. Ad-
just the load in the trailer, if necessary, to re-
duce the weight on hitch. If you are carrying
cargo and towing a trailer, include the tongue
weight in the maximum vehicle load limit.


Load cargo in the cargo bed as close to the
center of the vehicle as possible and tie it down
using the cargo hooks equipped on the cargo
bed.


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


Make sure the load does not interfere with con-
trols or your ability to see where you are going.
EE.book Page 35 Monday, July 11, 2005 2:32 PM

6-37

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 not to exceed low range whenev-
er you are carrying heavier loads or when tow-
ing a trailer.


Allow more braking distance. A heavier vehicle
takes longer to stop.


Avoid making sharp turns unless at very slow
speeds.


Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain
carefully. Added weight affects the stability and
handling of the vehicle.WARNING
Never exceed the stated maximum load capac-
ity for this vehicle. Overloading this vehicle or
carrying or towing cargo improperly could
cause changes in vehicle handling which
could lead to an accident.
Cargo should be properly distributed and se-
curely attached. Reduce speed when carrying
cargo or towing a trailer. Allow greater dis-
tance for braking.
