Cargo capacity:

Steps For Determining Correct

Load Limit -

1. Locate the statement "The com-

bined weight of occupants and

cargo should never exceed XXX

kg or XXX lbs.'' on your vehicle's

placard.

2. Determine the combined weight of

the driver and passengers that will

be riding in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of

the driver and passengers from

XXX kg or XXX lbs.

5. Determine the combined weight of

luggage and cargo being loaded

on the vehicle. That weight may

not safely exceed the available

cargo and luggage load capacity

calculated in Step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trail-

er, load from your trailer will be

transferred to your vehicle. Consult

this manual to determine how this

reduces the available cargo and

luggage load capacity of your

vehicle.

The cargo capacity of your vehicle

will increase or decrease depending

on the weight and the number of

occupants and the tongue load, if

your vehicle is equipped with a trailer.

4.The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and lug-

gage load capacity. For example, if

the "XXX" amount equals 635 kg

(1400 lbs.) and there will be five 68

kg (150 lb) passengers in your

vehicle, the amount of available

cargo and luggage load capacity is

295 kg (650 lbs).

WARNING - Loose cargo

Do not travel with unsecured

blunt objects in the passenger

compartment of your vehicle

(e.g. suit cases or unsecured

child seats). These items may

strike occupant during a sud-

den stop or crash.

(635-340 (5 x 68) = 295 kg or

1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)

Certification label

The certification label is located on

the driver's door sill at the center pillar.

WARNING - Over loading

Never exceed the GVWR for

your vehicle, the GAWR for

either the front or rear axle and

Do not overload your vehicle.

Overloading your vehicle can

cause heat buildup in your vehi-

cle's tires and possible tire fail-

ure, increased stopping dis-

tances and poor vehicle han-

dling--all of which may result in

a crash.

This label shows the maximum allow-

able weight of the fully loaded vehi-

cle. This is called the GVWR (Gross

Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR

includes the weight of the vehicle, all

occupants, fuel and cargo.

This label also tells you the maxi-

mum weight that can be supported

by the front and rear axles, called

Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).

To find out the actual loads on your

front and rear axles, you need to go to

a weigh station and weigh your vehi-

cle.Your dealer can help you with this.

Be sure to spread out your load equal-

ly on both sides of the centerline.

weight.

Exceeding these ratings can

affect your vehicle’s handling

and braking ability.

The label will help you decide how

much cargo and installed equipment

your vehicle can carry.

✽

NOTICE

Overloading your vehicle may cause

damage. Repairs would not be cov-

ered by your warranty. Do not over-

load your vehicle.

If you carry items inside your vehicle

- like suitcases, tools, packages, or

anything else - they are moving as

fast as the vehicle. If you have to stop

or turn quickly, or if there is a crash,

the items will keep going and can

cause an injury if they strike the driv-

er or a passenger.
