from your trailer will be transferred to your ve‐
hicle. Consult this manual to determine how

load capacity of your vehicle.
Payload
The maximum load is the sum of the weight of
the occupants and the cargo.
The greater the weight of the occupants, the
less cargo that can be transported.
Stowing and securing cargo
▷ Cover sharp edges and corners on the cargo.
▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possible,
directly behind and at the bottom of the rear
passenger seat backrests.
▷ Very heavy cargo: stow as far forward as pos‐
sible, directly behind and at the bottom of the
rear passenger seat backrests. When the rear
seat is not occupied, secure each of the outer
safety belts in the opposite buckle.
▷ Fold down the rear seat backrests completely
to stow large cargo.
▷ Do not stack cargo above the upper edge of
the backrests.
▷ Small and light cargo: secure with ratchet
straps or, depending on the equipment, with
a cargo net or draw straps.
▷ Larger and heavy cargo: secure with cargo
straps.
