From the discussion in this thread it seems likely that the source of the disruption is something that will be broadcast from ground level. Your position relative to that transmitter (bearing in mind the curvature of the earth) will likely

Small SUVs are curious things. Being large would seem to be somewhat essential to the function and nature of an SUV. Making it small would seem to make it just a regular car but with external styling that mimics the look of an SUV...

That would make sense. Removing any cargo is a no brainer. It also seems to make sense to have as little fuel as possible and to have already removed any high value equipment that doesn't absolutely need to still be on the ship for its
