Operating when loaded with cargo or tow-
ing a trailer

load. The more weight you carry, the slower
you should go. Although conditions vary, it is
good practice to keep the vehicle in low gear
whenever you are carrying heavier loads or
when towing a trailer.
WARNING
Carrying loads or towing a trailer can in-
crease the risk of loss of control, an over-
turn, or other accident. To reduce the risk
of an accident:
Reduce speed, operate in low gear
only, and allow more room to stop. A
heavier vehicle takes longer to stop.
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose
terrain carefully. Use extreme caution
when towing or carrying a load on in-
clines.
Turn gradually and go slowly.
