1-5. Entering/exiting the vehicle and loading luggage
WARNING
●
Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front and rear
axles.
If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length or width.
●
Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof luggage carrier.
●
Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of gravity of the
●
vehicle higher.
Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking, or abrupt maneuvers.
The vehicle may not be able to be controlled correctly and may rollover.
●
If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the vehicle now
and then during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its place.
●
Do not exceed 176.3 lb. (80 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
NOTICE
Do not set luggage on the moon roof and panoramic roof. Failure to observe so may lead
to cause damage.
Calculating cargo capacity
The cargo capacity can be calculated using the following formula.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) — (Total weight of occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit―
1
Locate the statement "The combined 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.
4
The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity.For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will
be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 − 750 (5 × 150) = 650 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.
