DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING Things you put inside your vehicle can strike and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or in a crash. • Put things in the trunk or rear area of your vehicle. In a trunk, put them as far forward as you can. Try to spread the weight evenly. If you have fold-down rear seats, you'll find four anchors on the back wall of your trunk. You can use these anchors to tie down lighter loads. They're not strong enough for heavy things, however, so put them as far forward as you can in the trunk or rear area. • Never stack heavier things, like suitcases, inside the vehicle so that some of them are above the tops of the seats. • Don't leave an unsecured child restraint in your vehicle. • When you carry something inside the vehicle, secure it whenever you can. • Don't leave a seat folded down unless you need to. Determining Compatibility of Tire and Vehicle Load Limits The tires on your vehicle, when they are inflated to the recommended tire inflation pressure, have a load-carrying capacity that is greater than the load that will be on the tires when the vehicle is at its GVWR or GAWR limit. Never use replacement tires that have a load-carrying capacity less than the original tires on your vehicle. Tire load-carrying capacity information is molded into the tire sidewall typically shown as "Max. Load". Use of replacement tires with a lower load-carrying capacity than the original tires, or failure to keep the tires inflated to recommended tire pressure, may reduce the GVWR or GAWR limit of your vehicle. NOTE: Use of replacement tires with a higher load-carrying capacity than the original tires, or using a tire inflation pressure higher than the recommended tire inflation pressure, will not increase the GVWR or GAWR limit of your vehicle. Towing a Trailer L3U4030A Do not use your vehicle to tow a trailer. The vehicle is not designed or intended for such use. Towing a trailer can adversely affect handling, durability and fuel economy. 4-19
