Determining the vehicle's permittedweight
Properly loading your vehicle will provide maxi-mum return of vehicle design performance.

Weight designations
Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourselfwith the following terms for determining yourvehicle's weight ratings, with or without a trailer,from the vehicle's Federal/Canadian Motor Vehi-cle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label, andthe vehicle's tire information placard:

Curb weight
The weight of the vehicle including a full tank offuel and all standard equipment. It does notinclude passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.

Capacity weight
All weight added to the curb weight, includingcargo and optional equipment. When towing, tow-bar weight is also part of cargo weight.

Permissible axle weight
The maximum allowable weight that can be car-ried by a single axle (front or rear). These num-bers are shown on the Federal/Canadian MotorVehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS/CMVSS) label.The total load on each axle must never exceed itsmaximum permissible weight.

Gross vehicle weight (GVW)
The vehicle's curb weight + cargo + passengers.
Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit
1. Locate the statement "the combined weightof occupants and cargo should never exceedXXX kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's plac-ard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driverand passengers that will be riding in yourvehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driverand passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the availableamount of cargo and luggage load capacity.For example, if the "XXX" amount equals1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. pas-sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa-ble cargo and luggage load capacity is 650lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggageand cargo being loaded on the vehicle. Thatweight may not safely exceed the availablecargo and luggage load capacity calculatedin Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, loadfrom your trailer will be transferred to yourvehicle. Consult this manual to determinehow this reduces the available cargo and lug-gage load capacity of your vehicle.

Cargo compartment
The vehicle has a flexible cargo compartmentthat makes it possible to carry and secure largeobjects.
The cargo capacity of the vehicle can be consid-erably increased by folding down the rear seatbackrests. To make loading and unloading easier,the rear section of the vehicle can be raised andlowered using the level control function*. Use theload anchoring eyelets or grocery bag holders tohelp secure objects in place, and the retractablecargo compartment cover* to help concealobjects in the cargo compartment.
If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary sparetire, this is secured to the cargo compartmentfloor under the cover. The towing eyelet and tiresealing system are located under the cargo com-partment floor.

Loading recommendations
There are a number of things to consider whencarrying loads in or on the vehicle.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehi-cle's curb weight. The total weight of all passen-gers and any installed accessories reduces thevehicle's load-carrying capacity by the corres-ponding amount.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics changedepending on the weight and position of theload.

Loading the cargo compartment/trunk
Position objects so they are pressing againstthe rear seat backrests.
Distribute the load evenly.
Heavy objects should be positioned as lowas possible. Avoid placing heavy objects onfolded-down seat backrests.
Cover sharp corners with a soft cloth or simi-lar to help prevent damage to the upholstery.
Use the load anchoring eyelets and tension-ing straps or similar to secure all objects.
WARNING
In a head-on collision at a speed of 50 km/h(30 mph), an unsecured object weighing 20kg (44 pounds) can reach a projectile weightequivalent to 1000 kg (2200 pounds).

WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upperedge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm (4in.) space between the objects and the win-dow. Objects placed closer to this couldimpede the function of the inflatable curtainconcealed inside the headlining.

WARNING
Always secure the load. Otherwise, it may shiftduring heavy braking and injure people in thevehicle.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners withsomething soft.
Turn off the engine and apply the parkingbrake when loading/unloading long objects.Otherwise, it is possible for the load to reachthe gear lever or gear selector and move it toa drive position – which could cause the vehi-cle to begin rolling.
