EXAMPLE ON YOUR VEHICLE
Coupe—In case that 2 people with the
combined weight of 166 kg (366 lb.)
are riding in your vehicle with the total
load capacity of 410 kg (900 lb.), the
available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity will be as follows:
410 kg – 166 kg = 244 kg.
(900 lb. – 366 lb. = 534 lb.)

Convertible—In case that 2 people
with the combined weight of 166 kg
(366 lb.) are riding in your vehicle with
the total load capacity of 342 kg (754
lb.), the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity will be as
follows:
342 kg – 166 kg = 176 kg.
(754 lb. – 366 lb. = 388 lb.)
From this condition, if 2 more passen-
gers with the combined weight of 93
kg (205 lb.) get on, the available car-
go and luggage load will be reduced
as follows:
Coupe
244 kg – 93 kg = 151 kg.
(534 lb. – 205 lb. = 329 lb.)
Convertible
176 kg – 93 kg = 83 kg.
(388 lb. – 205 lb. = 183 lb.)
As shown in the above example, if the
number of occupants increases, the
cargo and luggage load equaling the
combined weight of occupants who
got on later must be reduced. In other
words, if the increase in the number
of occupants causes the excess of
the total load capacity (combined
weight of occupants plus cargo and
luggage load), you have to reduce the
cargo and luggage on your vehicle.
For details about total load capacity,
see "Vehicle load limits" on page 243.
CAUTION
Even if the total load of occu-
pant's weight and the cargo load
is less than the total load capac-
ity, do not apply the load uneven-
ly. That may cause not only dam-
age to the tire but also deteriora-
tion to the steering ability due to
unbalance of the vehicle, causing
an accident.
