fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
(Continued)
Do not use matches or a lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gasstation and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.

Driving your vehicle
Steps for determining correctload limit
1.Locate the statement "The com- bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg
or XXX lbs.'' on your vehicle's plac-ard.
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
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4.The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity. For example, if
the "XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs.
and there will be five 150 lb. pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5.Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargoand luggage load capacity calcu-lated in Step 4. 6.If your vehicle will be towing a trail-
er, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your vehi-cle Do not overload the vehicle asthere is a limit to the total
weight, or load limit, including
occupants and cargo, the vehi-
cle can carry. Overloading can
shorten the life of the vehicle. If
the GVWR or the GAWR is
exceeded, parts on the vehicle
can break, and it can change
the handling of your vehicle.
These could cause you to lose
control and result in an acci-dent.
