Cargo loading

To avoid loading the tires beyond

their approved carrying capacity,

never overload the vehicle. Overloading

can lead to overheating and increases

the rate at which damage develops

inside the tires. The ultimate result can

assume the form of a sudden air loss.<

Determining loading limit

1. Locate the following statement on

your vehicle's placard

*:

The combined weight of occu-

pants and cargo should never

exceed XXX lbs. or YYY kg, as other-

wise the vehicle may be damaged

and unstable driving conditions may

result.<

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 lbs.

or YYY kg

530de225

4. The resulting figure equals the avail-

able amount of cargo and luggage

load capacity.

For example, if the XXX amount

equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be

five 150 lbs. passengers in your vehi-

cle, the amount of available cargo

and luggage load capacity is

650 lbs.:

1,400 Ibs. minus 750 Ibs. = 650 Ibs.

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 trans-

ferred to your vehicle. Consult the

manual for transporting a trailer to

determine how this may reduce the

available cargo and luggage load

capacity of your vehicle.
