The heavier the load:
The more your Grenadier’s handling and stability is
reduced.
The longer it takes to slow or stop your Grenadier.
The longer it takes to accelerate your Grenadier.
Get used
to the changes in handling and stability when you start
carrying a heavy load and adjust your driving accordingly.
The higher the cargo is relative to the vehicle’s center of gravity,
the more it reduces your Grenadier’s handling and stability. That
condition worsens in windy conditions, on winding roads, and o
road. Get used to the changes in handling and stability when you
start carrying higher loads or loads on the roof and adjust your
driving accordingly.
Putting cargo on only one side of your Grenadier can also aect its
handling and stability.
Adjust tire pressures to accommodate the added weight of the
load.
Carrying cargo high in or on top of your Grenadier increases the
risk of loss of control, if rollover, and of serious injury and death.
Unsecured or poorly secured cargo can come o your Grenadier
result in danger to others, driver distraction, a desire to stop near
the road for retrieval, and can lead to serious injury and death.
WARNING: Failure to follow the instructions and
precautions above
may result in serious injury and
death.
CARGO AREA
The rst choice
for carrying cargo must be the cargo area, which is
in front of the 30/70 doors and behind the rear seats.
Your Grenadier may be equipped with Interior Utility Rails located
on the oor of the cargo area and four Quick Release Tie-Down
Rings, which slot into the pre-dened locations along the rail.
Accessories such as the Cargo Management System can be
attached to these rails. There are other tie-down locations in the
cargo area as well.
Never rely on a seat back or the base(s) of the folded-up rear
seat(s) to secure cargo. They are not designed to support cargo or
to keep it from sliding forward. In a crash, the momentum of the
cargo could overload the seat and crush occupants in front of the
seat back.
All of your remaining cargo capacity can be placed in the cargo
area; the only other limitations are dimensional (width, length,
height).
Whenever possible, avoid storing cargo higher than the nearest
seat back. Cargo placed higher than that can obstruct the driver’s
eld of vision. And there is an increased risk that higher cargo will
become a projectile in a crash.
Do not allow cargo (e.g., boards) to protrude forward of the cargo
area and into seating areas. Such cargo can move during
cornering or a crash, increasing the risk of distraction, serious
injury, and death.
