GMC Terrain: Loading the Vehicle for Off-Road Driving
WARNING
○ Unsecured cargo on the load floor can be tossed about when driving over rough
terrain. You or your passengers can be struck by flying objects. Secure the cargo
properly.
○ Keep cargo in the cargo area as far forward and as low as possible. The heaviest
things should be on the floor, forward of the rear axle.
○ Heavy loads on the roof raise the vehicle's center of gravity, making it more
likely to roll over. You can be seriously or fatally injured if the vehicle rolls
over. Put heavy loads inside the cargo area, not on the roof.
For more information about loading the vehicle, see Vehicle Load Limits on page 9‑16.
