Traveling to remote areas

It makes sense to plan your trip,

especially when going to a remote

area. Know the terrain and plan your

route. You are much less likely to

encounter unwanted surprises. Get

accurate maps of trails.

It’s also a good idea to travel with at

least one other vehicle. If something

happens to one of them, the other

can quickly help.

WARNING - Cargo

• Cargo piled close to the height

of (or higher than) the seat

backs can be thrown forward

during a sudden stop or on

downhill slopes. You or your

passengers could be severely

injured. Keep cargo below the

top of the seat backs and, if

possible, do not pile separate

items.

•Unsecured cargo in the cargo

area can be tossed about

when driving on the highways

or over rough terrain. You or

your passengers can be

struck by flying objects and

severely injured.

Secure the

cargo properly.

(Continued)

(Continued)

• Cargo should not be carried

on the roof without a proper

roof rack installed. The roof

rack will hold a maximum of

45 kg (100 lbs.). Heavy loads

in a roof rack raise the vehi-

cle’s center of gravity, making

it more likely to roll over. You

can be seriously or fatally

injured if the vehicle rolls

over. Do not load cargo on the

roof while driving off-road, if

at all possible. Put heavy

loads inside the cargo area,

not on the roof or in a roof

rack. Keep cargo in the cargo

area as far forward and low as

po

ssible.
