carrying capacity, never overload the vehicle. Overloading can lead to overheating To avoid loading the tires beyond their approved carrying capacity, never overload the vehicle.

could damage the vehicle. Avoid fluid spills in the cargo area as they could damage the vehicle.

Determining loading limit

1.  Locate the following statement on your vehicle's placard:

1.  Locate the following statement on your vehicle's placard:

never exceed XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, damage to the vehicle and unstable driving The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, damage to the vehicle 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 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.

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 occupants.
