Safety information

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.

Warning

High gross weight can overheat the tires, dam‐

age them internally and cause a sudden tire

pressure loss. Driving characteristics may be

negatively impacted, reducing lane stability,

lengthening the braking distances and chang‐

ing the steering response. There is a risk of ac‐

cident. Pay attention to the permitted load ca‐

pacity of the tires and never exceed the

permitted gross weight.

2. Determine the combined weight of the driver

and passengers that will be riding in your ve‐

hicle.

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 lbs pas‐

sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa‐

ble cargo and luggage load capacity is

Warning

Loose objects or devices with a cable connec‐

tion to the vehicle, for instance mobile phones,

can be thrown about the car's interior while

driving, for instance in the event of an accident,

braking or evasive maneuver. There is a risk of

injury. Secure loose objects or devices with a

cable connection to the vehicle in the car's in‐

terior.
