The resulting f igure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity.
If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, the load f rom your trailer
will be transf erred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle.
The maximum load f or your vehicle
is:
Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers f rom
the maximum load.
For example, If your vehicle is the
Touring model, and if there will be
f ive 150 lbs (70 kg) occupants in
your vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is
458 lbs (198 kg).
5 150 lbs (70 kg) = 750 lbs
(350 kg)
1,208 lbs (548 kg) 750 lbs (350 kg)
= 458 lbs (198 kg) Determine the combined weight
of accessories, luggage, and cargo
beingloadedinthevehicle.The
weight may not saf ely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load
capacity calculated in step 4
[458 lbs (198 kg) in this example].
This f igure includes, cargo,
accessories, and the tongue weight if
you are towing a trailer.
To determine the correct cargo and
luggage load limit:
Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle. Locate the statement, ‘‘the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 1,208
lbs (548 kg)’’ on your vehicle’s
placard (on the driver’s doorjamb)
if your vehicle is the Touring
model, f or example.
