Cargo loading

To avoid loading the tires beyond their

approved carrying capacity, never over-

load the vehicle. Overloading can lead to over-

heating and increases the rate at which damage

develops inside the tires. This can ultimately

result in a sudden blowout.<

Make sure that no liquids are spilled or

leak from their containers in the cargo

area, as this could result in damage to the

vehicle.<

Always position and secure the cargo as

described so that it cannot endanger the

car's occupants, for example if sudden braking

or swerving is necessary.

Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle

weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer

to page 228, as excessive loads can pose a

safety hazard, and may also place you in viola-

tion of traffic safety laws.

Heavy or hard objects should not be carried

loose inside the car, since they could be thrown

around, for example as a result of heavy braking,

sudden swerves, etc., and endanger the occu-

pants.<

Determining loading limit

1. Locate the following statement on your

vehicle's placard

The combined weight of occupants

and cargo should never exceed

XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, overloading

can result in damage to the vehicle and

unstable driving conditions.<

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 kilograms or YYY

pounds.

4. The resulting figure equals the available

amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.

For example, if the YYY amount equals

1,400 lbs and there will be five 150 lbs

passengers in your vehicle, the amount of

available cargo and luggage load capacity

is 650 lbs:

1,400 lbs minus 750 lbs = 650 lbs

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, part of

the load from your trailer will be transferred

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.
