Do not place cargo only at the front or only at the rear. Distribute it

When using supports under cargo, position them uniformly along the

To the greatest extent possible, do not allow long cargo to protrude

beyond the rear edge of the cargo bed. Rather, use supports to raise it
at an angle. Avoid supporting it using just the front guard frame and the
rear edge of the cargo bed.
Use ropes and tarpaulins to secure the cargo so it does not fall off the
cargo bed. Use rubber bands or bungee cords to prevent the tarpaulins
from flapping in the wind.

Replacement Fasteners
During vehicle maintenance, any
fasteners used to replace older
ones must have the same
measurements and strength as
those removed, whether metric or
customary. Fasteners taken from
the vehicle should be saved for
reuse in the same location when
possible. Where a fastener cannot
be used again, take care to choose
a replacement that matches the old
one. For information and help, see
your dealer.
{ Warning
This vehicle is primarily
dimensioned in the metric system.
Most fasteners are metric and
many are very close in dimension
to well-known customary
fasteners in the inch system.
Mismatched or incorrect fasteners
can result in damage to the
vehicle or possibly personal
injury.
