Cargo and luggage
Capacity and distribution
Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capa city) — (T
otal weight of occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 
(1) Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should ne
ver exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of th e driv
er and passengers that will
be riding in your vehicle.
(3)Subtract the combined weight of the driv
er and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4)The resulting figure equals the availabl
e amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and ther
e will be
five 150 lb. passengers in your vehi cle, the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400  750 (5150) = 650
lbs.)
(5)Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may no t safely exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
Take notice of the following informat ion about storage precautions, cargo
capacity and load:
● Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk whenever possible.
● Be sur
e all items are secured in place.
●T
o maintain vehicle balance while driving, position luggage evenly
within the luggage compartment.
● F
or better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.

The Safety Connect sy stem installed in your vehicle is a low-power
radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also sends out radio fre-
quency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels fo r mobile wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards pre-
viously set by the following U.S. and international standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
