Cargo Capacity; Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit - Hyundai 2010 Elantra Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle

Cargo capacity:

The cargo capacity of your vehicle
will increase or decrease depending
on the weight and the number of
occupants and the tongue load, if
your vehicle is equipped with a trail-
er.
Steps for determining correct load
limit
1. Locate the statement "The com-
bined 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.
5 48
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity. For example, if
the "XXX" amount equals 849 lbs.
(385 kg), and there will be five 150
lbs. (68 kg) passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity
is 650 lbs. (295 kg).
(849-750 (5 x 150) = 99 lbs. or
385-340 (5 x 68) = 45 kg)
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 trail-
er, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.
