WHEN TRAVELING OR REGISTERING

IN ANOTHER COUNTRY

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION

When planning to travel in another

country, you should first find out if the

fuel available is suitable for your vehicle’s

engine.

Using fuel with an octane rating that is

too low may cause engine damage. All

gasoline vehicles must be operated with

unleaded gasoline. Therefore, avoid tak-

ing your vehicle to areas where appro-

priate fuel is not available.

When transferring the registration of

your vehicle to another country, state,

province or district, it may be necessary

to modify the vehicle to meet local laws

and regulations.

The laws and regulations for motor

vehicle emission control and safety stan-

dards vary according to the country,

state, province or district; therefore, vehi-

cle specifications may differ.

WARNING

It is extremely dangerous to

ride in a cargo area inside

the vehicle. In a collision,

people riding in these areas

are more likely to be ser-

iously injured or killed.

Do not allow people to ride

in any area of your vehicle

that is not equipped with

seats and seat belts.

Be sure everyone in your

vehicle is in a seat and using

a seat belt properly.

TERMS

It is important to familiarize your-

self with the following terms before

loading your vehicle:

your vehicle) - vehicle weight

including: standard and optional

equipment, fluids, emergency

tools, and spare tire assembly.

This weight does not include

be loaded into the vehicle. If the

vehicle is used to tow a trailer,

the trailer tongue weight must

be included as part of the cargo

load. This information is located

on the Tire and Loading Infor-

mation label.

Cargo capacity - permissible

weight of cargo, the subtracted

weight of occupants from the

load limit.

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY

Do not exceed the load limit of your

vehicle shown as “The combined

weight of occupants and cargo” on

the Tire and Loading Information

label. Do not exceed the number of

occupants shown as “Seating Ca-

pacity” on the Tire and Loading

Information label.

STI0447

To get “the combined weight of

occupants and cargo”, add the

weight of all occupants, then add

the total luggage weight. Examples

are shown in the following illustra-

tion.

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.

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.

10-12 Technical and consumer information

4. The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and

luggage load capacity. For ex-

ample, if the XXX amount equals

1400 lbs. and there will be five

150 lb. passengers in your vehi-

cle, the amount of available

cargo and luggage load capacity

is 650 lbs. (1400 − 750 (5 x 150) =

650 lbs) or (640 − 340 (5 x 70) =

300 kg.)

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

Before driving a loaded vehicle,

confirm that you do not exceed

the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

(GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight

Rating (GAWR) for your vehicle. (See

“Measurement of weights” (P.10-14).)

Also check tires for proper inflation

pressures. See the Tire and Loading

Information label.

backs. In a sudden stop or colli-

sion, unsecured cargo could

cause personal injury.

The child restraint top tether

strap may be damaged by con-

tact with items in the cargo area.

Secure any items in the cargo

area. Your child could be seriously

injured or killed in a collision if the

top tether strap is damaged.

Do not load your vehicle any

heavier than the GVWR or the

maximum front and rear GAWRs.

If you do, parts of your vehicle

can break, tire damage could

occur, or it can change the way

your vehicle handles. This could

result in loss of control and cause

personal injury.

JVI1686X

SECURING THE LOAD

There are luggage hooks located in the

cargo area as shown. The hooks can be

used to secure cargo with ropes or other

types of straps.

Do not apply a total load of more than

22 lbs. (10 kg) to a single metal floor

hook when securing cargo.

LOADING TIPS

The GVW must not exceed GVWR

or GAWR as specified on the F.M.

V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification la-

bel.

WARNING

Do not load the front and rear

axle to the GAWR. Doing so will

exceed the GVWR.

Properly secure all cargo with

ropes or straps to help prevent it

from sliding or shifting. Do not

place cargo higher than the seat-

could result in a serious

accident and personal in-

jury. Failures caused by

overloading are not covered

by the vehicle’s warranty.

WARNING

Properly secure all cargo

with ropes or straps to help

prevent it from sliding or

shifting. Do not place cargo

higher than the seatbacks.

In a sudden stop or collision,

unsecured cargo could

cause personal injury.

Do not load your vehicle any

heavier than the GVWR or

the maximum front and rear

GAWRs. If you do, parts of

your vehicle can break, tire

damage could occur, or it

can change the way your

vehicle handles. This could

result in loss of control and

cause personal injury.

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS

Secure loose items to prevent

weight shifts that could affect the

balance of your vehicle. When the

vehicle is loaded, drive to a scale

and weigh the front and the rear

wheels separately to determine

axle loads. Individual axle loads

should not exceed either of the

Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR).

The total of the axle loads should

not exceed the Gross Vehicle

Weight Rating (GVWR). These rat-

ings are given on the vehicle certi-

fication label. If weight ratings are

exceeded, move or remove items to

bring all weights below the ratings.

Overloading not only can

shorten the life of your ve-

hicle and the tire, but can

cause unsafe vehicle hand-

ling and longer braking dis-

tances. This may cause a

premature tire failure, which
