The maximum load for your vehicle
is:
LX model: 1,349 lbs (612 kg)
EX model: 1,388 lbs (630 kg)
EX-L model: 1,322 lbs (600 kg)
Touring models: 1,208 lbs (548 kg)
This figure includes, cargo,
accessories, and the tongue weight if
you are towing a trailer.
To determine the correct cargo and
luggage load limit:
1.
Locate the statement, ''the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 1,208
lbs'' on your vehicle's placard (on
the driver's doorjamb) if your
vehicle is the Touring model, for
example.
Determine the combined weight
2.
of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
3.
Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers from
the maximum load.
4.
The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity.
For example, if the maximum load is
1,388 lbs (EX model), and there will
be five 150 lbs passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is
638 lbs [1,388
−
750 (5
×
lbs].
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
(458 lbs in this example).
6.
If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, the load from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehicle.
To determine how this reduces
the available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle, see
page

.
Overloading or improper
loading can affect handling and
stability and cause a crash in
150) = 638
which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other
loading guidelines in this
