Cargo and luggage
Take notice of the following information about storage precau-
tions, cargo capacity and load.
● Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk whenever possible. Be
sure all items are secured in place.
● Be careful to keep the vehicle level. Placing the weight as far
forward as possible helps maintain vehicle balance.
● For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.

Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) – (Total weight of occupants)

cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on your vehi-
cle'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
