Load Limits

The maximum load for your vehicle

is 1,150 lbs (525 kg).

See Tire And Loading Information

label attached to the driver's

doorjamb.

Label Example

This figure includes the total weight

of all occupants, cargo, and

accessories, and the tongue load if

you are towing a trailer.

Overloading or improper

loading can affect handling and

stability and cause a crash in

which you can be hurt or killed.

Follow all load limits and other

loading guidelines in this

manual.

Steps for Determining Correct Load

Limit －

(1) Locate the statement ‘‘The

combined weight of occupants

and cargo should never exceed

XXX kg or XXX lbs.’’ on your

vehicle's placard.

(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 kg or XXX lbs.

(4) The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and

luggage load capacity. For

example, if the ‘‘XXX’’ amount

equals 1,400 lbs. and there will

be five 150 lb. passengers in your

vehicle, the amount of available

cargo and luggage load capacity

is 650 lbs.

(1,400－750 (5╳150) = 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, load from your trailer will

be transferred to your vehicle.

Consult this manual to determine

how this reduces the available

cargo and luggage load capacity

of your vehicle.
