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.
(1400750 (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.
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 available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

Technical information10-15

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. (SeeMeasurement of
weightslater 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.
