Carrying Cargo
The maximum load for your vehicle
is 850 lbs (395 kg). This figure
includes total weight of all occupants,
cargo, and accessories.
To determine the correct cargo and
luggage load limit:
1.
Locate the statement, ''the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 850 lbs
(395 kg)'' on your vehicle's placard
(on the driver's doorjamb).
2.
Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in the vehicle.
(Five is seating capacity of your
vehicle.)
3.
Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers from
850 lbs (395 kg).
4.
The resulting figure equals the
available load capacity.

Before Driving
For example, if there will be four 150
lbs (70 kg) occupants in your vehicle,
the amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 250 lbs (115
kg).
4
150 lbs (70 kg) = 600 lbs (280
kg)
850 lbs (395 kg)
600 lbs (280 kg) =
250 lbs (115 kg)
5.
Determine the combined weight
of accessories, luggage, and cargo
being loaded in the vehicle. The
weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load
capacity calculated in step 4.
Overloading or improper
loading can affect handling and
stability and cause a crash in
which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other
loading guidelines in this
manual.
