Cargo and luggage

Take notice of the following information about storage precautions,

cargo capacity and load:

Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.

(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

(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.

(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be trans-

ferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this

reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

Lexus does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Your vehicle is not

designed for trailer towing.
