WARNING
•It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo
area inside a vehicle. In a collision, people
riding in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
•Do not allow people to ride in any area of
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and
seat belts.
•Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.
TERMS
It is important to familiarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:
•Curb Weight (actual weight of your vehicle) -
vehicle weight including: standard and op-
tional equipment, fluids, emergency tools,
and spare tire assembly. This weight does
not include passengers and cargo.
•GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb weight
plus the combined weight of passengers and
cargo.
•GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) - maxi-
mum total combined weight of the unloaded
vehicle, passengers, luggage, hitch, trailer
tongue load and any other optional equip-
ment. This information is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.
•GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) - maximum
weight (load) limit specified for the front or
rear axle. This information is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.
•GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) - The
maximum total weight rating of the vehicle,
passengers, cargo, and trailer.
•Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit, Total
load capacity - maximum total weight limit
specified of the load (passengers and cargo)
for the vehicle. This is the maximum com-
bined weight of occupants and cargo that
can be loaded into the vehicle. If the vehicle
is used to tow a trailer, the trailer tongue
weight must be included as part of the cargo
load. This information is located on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
•Cargo capacity - permissible weight of cargo,
the weight of total occupants weight sub-
tracted from the load limit.
VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION
Technical information10-13

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY
Do not exceed the load limit of your vehicle
shown as “The combined weight of occupants
and cargo” on the Tire and Loading Information
label. Do not exceed the number of occupantsshown as “Seating Capacity” on the Tire and
Loading Information label.
To get “the combined weight of occupants and
cargo”, add the weight of all occupants, then
add the total luggage weight. Examples are
shown in the illustration.
Steps for determining correct load
limit
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight
of occupants and cargo 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 the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount equals 1400
lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers
in your vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or 640 
340 (5 x 70) = 300 kg.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated
in Step 4.

10-14Technical information

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, loadfrom 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 vehicle.
Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm that
you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for your vehicle. (See Measurement of
weights later in this section.)
Also check tires for proper inflation pressures.
See the Tire and Loading Information label.
LOADING TIPS
•The GVW must not exceed GVWR or GAWR as
specified on the F.M.V. S.S./C.M.V.S.S. cer-
tification label.
•Do not load the front and rear axle to the
GAWR. Doing so will exceed the GVWR.
WARNING
•Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
•Do not load your vehicle any heavier than
the GVWR or the maximum front and rear
GAWRs. If you do, parts of your vehicle can
break, tire damage could occur, or it can
change the way your vehicle handles. This
could result in loss of control and cause
personal injury.
•Overloading could not only shorten the life
of your vehicle and the tires, but also could
cause unsafe vehicle handling and longer
braking distances. This may cause a prema-
ture tire failure which could result in a seri-
ous accident and personal injury. Failures
caused by overloading are not covered by
the vehicle’s warranty.
MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS
Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that
could affect the balance of your vehicle. When
the vehicle is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh
the front and the rear wheels separately to
determine axle loads. Individual axle loads
should not exceed either of the gross axle
weight ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle
loads should not exceed the gross vehicle
weight rating (GVWR). These ratings are given
on the vehicle certification label. If weight rat- ings are exceeded, move or remove items to
bring all weights below the ratings.
Your vehicle was designed to be used to carry
passengers and luggage
CAUTION
Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.
