An open glove box can cause
serious injury to your passengerin a crash, even if the
passenger is wearing the seat

belt.

Always keep the glove box
closed while driving.ProCarManuals.comMain Menu Table of Contents s t

Carrying Cargo

Your vehicle has several convenient storage areas so you can stow cargo

safely.

The glove box, and the pockets in the front doors and seat-backs, aredesigned for small, lightweight items.
The cargo area is intended for larger, heavier items. In addition, the seats
in the second row can be removedand the bench seat in the third row
can be folded into the floor to allow
you to carry more cargo or longer items.
However, carrying too much cargo,or improperly storing it, can affect
your vehicle's handling, stability and operation and make it unsafe. Before
carrying any type of cargo, be sure to
read the following pages.

Carrying Cargo

Load Limit
The maximum load for your vehicle

is
1,277 lbs
(580 kg).
This figure includes the total weight
of all occupants, cargo, accessories,
and the tongue weight if you are

towing a trailer.

To figure out how much cargo you can carry:
Add up the weight of all occupants.
If you are towing a trailer, add the

tongue weight to the number
above.

Subtract the total from 1,277 Ibs
(580kg).

The final number is the total weight
of cargo you can carry.
When you load luggage, the total
weight of the vehicle, all passengers,cargo, and trailer tongue load must
not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). The load for the front and rear axles also must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). The GVWR and
GAWR are printed on the tire
information label attached to the driver's doorjamb (see page 316 ). Carrying Items in the Passenger
Compartment
Store or secure all items that could
be thrown around and hurt someone during a crash.
Be sure items placed on the floor
behind the front seats cannot roll
under the seats and interfere with
the driver's ability to operate the
pedals, or with the proper operation of the seats.
Keep the glove box closed while
driving. If the lid is open, a
passenger could injure their knees during a crash or sudden stop.
Before Driving Overloading or improper
loading can affect handling and
stability and cause a crash in
which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other
loading guidelines in this
manual.ProCarManuals.comMain Menu Table of Contents s t
