Vehicle features and options

Warning

Improperly stowed objects can slip and be

thrown into the car's interior, for instance in

the event of an accident, braking or an eva-

sive maneuver. Vehicle occupants can be hit

and injured. There is a risk of injury and risk

of property damage. Stow and secure objects

and cargo properly.

This chapter describes model-specific equip-

ment, systems, and functions that are currently

available, or may become available in the fu-

ture, even if they are not present in the vehicle.

NOTICE

Fluids in the cargo area can cause damage.

There is a risk of property damage. Make

sure that no fluids leak in the cargo area.

Safety information

Warning

High gross vehicle weight can overheat the

tires, damage them internally and cause

a sudden tire pressure loss. Driving char-

acteristics may be negatively impacted, re-

ducing directional stability, lengthening the

braking distances and changing the steering

response. There is a risk of accident, injury,

and property damage. Pay attention to the

permitted load-carrying capacity of the tires

and never exceed the permitted gross vehicle

weight.

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 the

vehicle’s placard.

2. Determine the combined weight of the

driver and passengers that will be riding in

the 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 ca-

pacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount

equals 1,400 lbs and there will be five

150 lbs passengers in the vehicle, the

amount of available cargo and luggage

load capacity is 650 lbs (1,400 - 750 (5 x

150) = 650 lbs).

Warning

When driving, loose items or devices con-

nected to the vehicle with a cable, i.e., mobile

phones, may be thrown around the vehicle,

e.g., in the event of an accident or when brak-

ing or performing evasive maneuvers. There

is a risk of injury and risk of property damage.

Secure loose objects or devices that are con-

nected to the vehicle via a cable.

5. Determine the combined weight of luggage

and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.

That weight may not safely exceed the

of the rear seat backrests. When the rear

seat is not occupied, secure each of the

outer seat belts in the opposite buckle.

6. If the vehicle will be towing a trailer, load

from your trailer will be transferred to the

vehicle. Consult this manual to determine

how this reduces the available cargo and

luggage load capacity of the vehicle.

Payload

General information

Attach auxiliary materials to secure the cargo

such as lashing straps, tensioning straps, draw

straps, or cargo nets to the lashing eyes.

Overview
