Advanced automobile
manufacturing tech-
niques permit you to operate your new vehi-cle without requiring a long break-in periodof low-speed driving.However, you can add to the future perfor-mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the following precautions duringthe first 300 miles (500 km).Drive your vehicle at m
oderate speeds during
the break-in period.Avoid revving the engine.Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts,sudden accelerati
on, prolonged high-
speed driving and sudden braking. Theseactions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel andoil consumption; th
is could ultimately
result in the malfunction of engine com-ponents. Be particularly careful to avoidfull acceleration while in low shift posi-tion (low gears).Do not overload the vehicle. Stay withinthe seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo loadprecautions” on page 6-10.)Refrain from towing a trailer or othervehicle (Refer to “T
railer towing” on page
6-11).

the tongue weight of
the trailer, if any, being towed. The tire andloading information placard located on thedriver’s door sill of your vehicle will showhow much weight it may properly carry.It is important to famil
iarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:Vehicle maximum load on the tire: loadon an individual tire that is determined bydistributing to each axle its share of themaximum loaded vehicle weight anddividing by two.Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on anindividual tire that is determined by dis-tributing to each axle its share of the curbweight, accessory weight, and normaloccupant weight and dividing by two.Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sumof -(a) Curb weight;(b) Accessory weight;(c) Vehicle capacity weight; and(d) Production options weight.
Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi-cle with standard equipment including themaximum capacity of
fuel, oil, and cool-
ant.Accessory weight: the combined weight(in excess of those st
andard items which
may be replaced) of automatic transaxle,power steering, power brakes, power win-dows, power seats, radio, and heater, tothe extent that these items are available asfactory- installed equipment (whetherinstalled or not).Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargoand luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)*times the vehicle’s designated seatingcapacity.Production options weight: the combinedweight of those installed regular produc-tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg)in excess of those standard items whichthey replace, not prev
iously considered in
curb weight or accessory weight, includ-ing heavy duty brakes,
ride levelers, roof
rack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)*times the number of
specified occupants

The tire and loading information placard islocated on the inside sill of the driver’s door.This placard shows the maximum number ofoccupants permitted to
ride in your vehicle as
well as “the combined
weight of occupants
and cargo” (A), which
is called the vehicle
capacity weight. The weight of any non-fac-tory installed options, as well as the tongueweight of a trailer being towed and roof loadis included in the defi
nition of “cargo” when
determining the vehicle
capacity weight. This

vehicle performance, including handlingand braking, cause tire failure, and resultin an accident.
*:150 lbs (68 kg) is the weight of one per-son as defined by U.
S.A. and Canadian
regulations.

1.Locate the statement “The com-bined weight of occupants andcargo should never exceed XXXkg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’splacard.2.Determine the combined weightof the driver and passengers thatwill be riding in your vehicle.3.Subtract the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers fromXXX kg or XXX lbs.4.The resulting figure equals theavailable amount of cargo andluggage load capacity. For exam-ple, if the “XXX” amount equals1400 lbs. and there will be five150 lbs. passengers in your vehi-cle, the amount of available cargoand luggage load
capacity is 650
lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650lbs.)
5.Determine the combined weightof luggage and cargo being loadedon the vehicle. That weight maynot safely exceed the availablecargo and luggage load capacitycalculated in Step 4.6.If your vehicle will be towing atrailer, load from your trailer willbe transferred to your vehicle.Consult this manual to determinehow this reduces the availablecargo and luggage load capacityof your vehicle.

NOTE
The following table shows examples on how to
calculate tota
l load, cargo/luggage and towing capa
cities of your vehicle with var
ying seating configura-
tions and number and size of occ
upants. This table is for illu
stration purposes only and may not
be accurate for the seating an
d load carry capacity of your
vehicle.For the following example the combined weight of oc
cupants and cargo should ne
ver exceed 865 lbs (392 kg).
Under a maximum loaded vehicle c
ondition, gross axle weight ratings (GAWR’s) for
the front and rear axles must not be exceeded.
For further information
on GAWR’s, vehicle loading and tr
ailer towing, see the “Specifica
tions” section of this manual.

To determine the cargo load capacity for yourvehicle, subtract the
weight of all vehicle
occupants from the vehi
cle 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 numberslisted on the safety certification label locatedon the inside sill of the driver’s door as theguide for passengers and/or cargo weight.(Except for Vehicles for Mexico)

Cargo loads Cargo load precautions
WA R N I N GTo reduce the risk of serious injury ordeath, the combined weights of the driver,passengers and cargo and must neverexceed the vehicle capacity weight.Exceeding the vehicle capacity weight willadversely affect ve
hicle performance,
including handling and braking, and maycause an accident.Do not load cargo or luggage higher thanthe top of the seatback. Be sure that yourcargo or luggage cann
ot move when your
vehicle is in motion.Having either the re
ar view blocked, or
your cargo being thrown
inside the cabin
if you suddenly have to brake can cause aserious accident or
injury or death.
Put cargo or luggage in the cargo area ofyour vehicle. Try to spread the weightevenly.
Loading cargo on the roof
WA R N I N GWeight placed on the
roof of the vehicle
will raise the vehicle’and adversely affect
its handling charac-
teristics. As a result, driving errors oremergency maneuvers could lead to a lossof control and result in an accident. Driveslowly and avoid excessive maneuverssuch as sudden brak
ing or quick turning.
Make sure that the
weight of luggage and
the roof carrier do not exceed the maxi-mum roof load, 110 lb (50 kg). If the maxi-mum roof load is ex
ceeded, this could
cause damage to the ve
hicle or result in an
accident.The total weight of all occupants and lug-gage, including your r
oof load, must not
exceed the vehicle capacity weight. Formore information, refer to “Tire and load-ing information placard” on page 11-3Roof load is determined by adding theweight of the roof
carrier and the weight
of the luggage placed
on the roof carrier.
For additional information, refer to“Maximum roof load” on page 11-5.CAUTIONDo not load luggage directly onto the roof.Use a roof carrier that properly fits yourvehicle.For installation, refer to the instruction man-ual provided with the roof carrier.Place the luggage on the carrier so that itsweight is distri
buted evenly with the heaviest
items on the bottom. Do not load items thatare wider than the roof carrier.WA R N I N G

Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight,maximum trailer weight (A), maximumtongue weight (B) and Gross Axle WeightRating (GAWR).The vehicle capacity weight is printed on thetire and loading inform
ation placard as “com-
bined weight of oc
cupants and cargo”.
The weight includes the weight of all occu-pants and the total weight it can carry.For more information, refer to “Tire and load-ing information plac
ard” on page 6-7.
Recommendations for to
wing up to this limit
are as follows.
The tongue weight of a
ny trailer is important
because it affects the ve
hicle capacity weight.
The vehicle capacity weight includes anycargo you may carry, a
nd the people who will
be riding in the vehi
cle. If you will tow a
trailer, you must include the tongue weight ofthe trailer in your calculation of the vehiclecapacity weight. For more informationregarding vehicle capa
city weight, refer to
“Tire and loading information placard” onpage 6-7.Do not exceed the maximum tongue weightfor your vehicle.After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh thetrailer and then the to
ngue, separately, to see
if the weights are proper.Keep the trailer tongue load at 10% of theloaded trailer weight fo
r dead weight hitches.

Maximum load indicates the maxi-mum load this tire is designed tocarry.
Maximum Pressure indicates themaximum permissible cold tire infla-tion pressure for this tire.The TIN may be found on one orboth sides of the tire but the datecode may only be on one side. Lookfor the TIN on the outboard side oftires as mounted on the vehicle. If theTIN is not found on the outboard sidethen you will find it on the inboardside of the tire.
Temporary spare tires are highpressure compact sparesdesigned for temporary emer-gency use only. Tires designedto this standard have the letter“T” molded into the sidewallpreceding the size
