The tire and loading information placard islocated on the inside sill of the driver’s door. This placard shows the maximum number of occupants permitted to ride in your vehicle as well as “the combined weight of occupantsand cargo” (A), which is called the vehicle capacity weight. The weight of roof load is
included in the definition of “cargo” when determining the vehicle capacity weight. This placard also tells you the size and recom- mended inflation pressure for the originalequipment tires on your vehicle. For more information, refer to “Tires” on page 9-13.

1.Locate the statement “The com- bined weight of occupants andcargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.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 theavailable amount of cargo andluggage load capacity. For exam- ple, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five150 lbs. passengers in your vehi- cle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650lbs. (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 availablecargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
* :150 lbs (68 kg) is the weight of one per- son as defined by U.S.A. and Canadian regulations.

6.If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the availablecargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.NOTE
The above steps for determiningcorrect load limit were written in accordance with U.S.A. regula-tions. Your vehicle cannot tow a trailer, so step 6 is irrelevant.

To determine the cargo load capacity for your vehicle, subtract the weight of all vehicle
NOTE
The following table shows examples on how
to calculate total cargo/load cap
acity of your vehicle with varying
seating configurations and number and size of occupants.
This table is for illustration purposes only and may not
be accurate for the seating and lo
ad capacity of your vehicle.
For the following example the combined weight of oc
cupants and cargo should never exceed 865 lbs (392 kg).
Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition, gross axle
weight ratings (GAWR’s) for the front and rear axles
must not be exceeded. For further information on GAWR
’s, vehicle loading, see the “Specifications” section of
this manual.

occupants from the vehicle capacity weight. For additional information, if needed, refer to “Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit” on page 6-8.DO NOT USE the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat- ing and Gross Axle Weight Rating numbers listed on the safety certification label (A)located on the inside sill of the driver’s door as the guide for passengers and/or cargo weight.

WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the combined weights of the driver, passengers and cargo and must neverexceed the vehicle capacity weight. Exceeding the vehicle capacity weight will adversely affect vehicle performance, including handling and braking, and may cause an accident.
 Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo or luggage cannot move when your vehicle is in motion. Having either the rear view blocked, oryour cargo being thrown inside the cabin if you suddenly have to brake can cause a serious accident or injury or death. Put cargo or luggage in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weightevenly.
Loading cargo on the roof
WA R N I N G Weight placed on the roof of the vehicle will raise the vehicle’s center of gravity and adversely affect its handling charac- teristics. As a result, driving errors oremergency maneuvers could lead to a loss of control and result in an accident. Drive slowly and avoid excessive maneuverssuch as sudden braking or quick turning. Make sure that the weight of luggage and the roof carrier do not exceed the maxi- mum roof load, 176 lb (80 kg). If the maxi-mum roof load is exceeded, this could cause damage to the vehicle or result in an accident.WA R N I N G
 The total weight of all occupants and lug- gage, including your roof load, must not exceed the vehicle capacity weight. For more information, refer to “Tire and load- ing information placard” on page 11-2 Roof load is determined by adding the weight of the roof carrier and the weightof the luggage placed on the roof carrier. For additional information, refer to “Maximum roof load” on page 11-3.CAUTION Do not load luggage directly onto the roof. Use a roof carrier th
at properly fits your
vehicle.For installation, refer to the instruction man- ual provided with the roof carrier. Place the luggage on the carrier so that its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not load items thatare wider than the roof carrier. When attaching/removing the roof carrier and loading/removing luggage, do not apply excessive pressure on a single point. Depending on how and where the force is applied, this may cause dents on the vehicle roof.WA R N I N G

 Before driving and after traveling a short dis- tance, always check the load to make sure it is securely fastened to the roof carrier. Stop the vehicle periodically and check that the load remains secure. If the load is notsecure, it could fall from the vehicle and damage your vehicle, another vehicle or cre- ate a road hazard.NOTE
 To prevent wind noise or reduction in gas mileage, remove the roof carrier when not in use.  Before using an automatic car wash, check with the attendant to determine if the roof carrier should be removed.  Be sure that adequate clearance is main- tained for raising the liftgate when installinga roof carrier.
