EXAMPLE ON YOUR VEHICLE
In case that 1 people with the com-
bined weight of 80 kg (176 lb.) are
riding in your vehicle with the total
load capacity of 193 kg (425 lb.), the
available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity will be as follows:
193 kg – 80 kg = 113 kg.
(425 lb. – 176 lb. = 249 lb.)
From this condition, if 1 more passen-
ger with the combined weight of 70
kg (154 lb.) get on, the available car-
go and luggage load will be reduced
as follows:
113 kg – 70 kg = 43 kg.
(249 lb. – 154 lb. = 95 lb.)
As shown in the above example, if the
number of occupants increases, the
cargo and luggage load equaling the
combined weight of occupants who
got on later must be reduced. In other
words, if the increase in the number
of occupants causes the excess of
the total load capacity (combined
weight of occupants plus cargo and
luggage load), you have to reduce the
cargo and luggage on your vehicle.
For details about total load capacity,
see "Vehicle load limits" on page 149.
CAUTION
Even if the total load of occu-
pant's weight and the cargo load
is less than the total load capac-
ity, do not apply the load uneven-
ly. That may cause not only dam-
age to the tire but also deteriora-
tion to the steering ability due to
unbalance of the vehicle, causing
an accident.
