AVERTISSEMENT
Charge maximale dans la caisse : 136 kg (300 lbs) Charge maximale du véhicule : 327 kg (721 lbs)
Une charge ou une remorque peut nuire à la maniabilité et à l’équilibre du véhicule.
Lors du transport d’une charge ou lors du remorquage :
Lire le Manuel du propriétaire avant de charger le véhicule, de tirer ou de remorquer une charge.
– Ne pas dépasser la limite de charge nominale pour la caisse de chargement, le timon et le véhicule.
– Réduire la vitesse et prévoir une distance de freinage accrue. – Négocier les virages progressivement et lentement. – Éviter les pentes et les terrains accidentés.
