2-5. Driving information
GX460_CANADA (OM60F29U)Vehicles without rear heig
ht control air suspension
With third seats
949 lb. - 388 lb. = 561 lb. (429 kg - 176 kg = 253 kg)
Without third seats
1159 lb. - 388 lb. = 771 lb. (524 kg - 176 kg = 348 kg)
Vehicles with rear height control air suspension
914 lb. - 388 lb. = 526 lb. (414 kg - 176 kg = 238 kg)
As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants increases,
the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount that equals the
increased weight due to the additional occupants. In other words, if an
increase in the number of occupants causes an excess of the total load
capacity (combined weight of occupa nts plus cargo and luggage load),
you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.
CAUTION
■Things that must not be carri ed in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compartment:
●Receptacles containing gasoline
●Aerosol cans
