Driving your vehicle

VEHICLE LOAD LIMIT

Vehicle capacity weight:

Towing capacity:

926 lbs. (420 kg)

Without trailer brakes:

1000 lbs (454 kg)

Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi-

mum combined weight of occupants

and cargo. If your vehicle is equipped

with a trailer, the combined weight

includes the tongue load.

With trailer brakes:

2000 lbs (907 kg)

Towing capacity is the maximum

trailer weight including its cargo

weight, your vehicle can tow.

Seating capacity:

Cargo capacity:

OLM059100N

Total : 5 persons

(Front seat : 2 persons,

Rear seat : 3 persons)

The cargo capacity of your vehicle

will increase or decrease depending

on the weight and the number of

occupants and the tongue load, if

your vehicle is equipped with a trail-

er.

Seating capacity is the maximum

number of occupants including a

driver, your vehicle may carry.

However, the seating capacity may

be reduced based upon the weight of

all of the occupants, and the weight

of the cargo being carried or towed.

Steps For Determining Correct Load

Limit

Do not overload the vehicle as there 1. Locate the statement "The com-

bined weight of occupants and

cargo should never exceed XXX

kg or XXX lbs.'' on your vehicle's

placard.

Tire and loading information label

The label located on the driver's door

sill gives the original tire size, cold

tire pressures recommended for your

vehicle, the number of people that

can be in your vehicle and vehicle

capacity weight.

2. Determine the combined weight of

the driver and passengers that will

be riding in your vehicle.

Example 1

Example 2

3. Subtract the combined weight of

the driver and passengers from

4. The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and lug-

gage load capacity. For example, if

the "XXX" amount equals 1400

lbs. and there will be five 150 lbs.

passengers in your vehicle, the

amount of available cargo and lug-

gage load capacity is 650 lb

(1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)

er, 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.

Refer to your vehicle’s tire and loading information label for specific informa-

tion about your vehicle's capacity weight and seating positions. The com-

bined weight of the driver, passengers and cargo should never exceed your

vehicle's capacity weight.

Driving your vehicle

To find out the actual loads on your

front and rear axles, you need to go

to a weigh station and weigh your

vehicle.Your dealer can help you with

this. Be sure to spread out your load

equally on both sides of the center-

line.

Example 3

WARNING - Over loading

• Never exceed the GVWR for

your vehicle, the GAWR for

either the front or rear axle

and vehicle capacity weight.

Exceeding these ratings can

cause an accident or vehicle

damage.You can calculate the

weight of your load by weigh-

ing the items (or people)

before putting them in the

vehicle. Be careful not to over-

load your vehicle.

WARNING

WARNING - Loose cargo

Items you carry inside your

vehicle can strike and injure

occupants in a sudden stop or

turn, or in a crash.

• Do not load your vehicle any

heavier than the GVWR, either

the maximum front or rear

GAWR and vehicle capacity

weight. If you do, parts,

including tires on your vehicle

can break, and it can change

the way your vehicle handles

and braking ability. This could

cause you to lose control and

crash. Also, overloading can

shorten the life of your vehi-

cle.

• Overloading your vehicle can

cause heat buildup in your

vehicle's tires and possible

tire failure that could lead to a

crash.

• Put items in the cargo area of

your vehicle.Try to spread the

weight evenly.

• Overloading your vehicle can

cause increased stopping dis-

tances that could lead to a

crash.

• Never stack items, like suit-

cases, inside the vehicle

above the tops of the seats.

• A crash resulting from poor

handling vehicle damage, tire

failure, or increased stopping

distances could result in seri-

ous injury or death.

• Do not leave an unsecured

child restraint in your vehicle.

• When you carry something

inside the vehicle, secure it.

The label will help you decide how

much cargo and installed equipment

your vehicle can carry.

• Do not drive with a seat folded

down unless necessary.

CAUTION

• Overloading your vehicle may

cause damage. Repairs would

not be covered by your warran-

ty. Do not overload your vehicle.

If you carry items inside your vehicle

- like suitcases, tools, packages, or

anything else - they are moving as

fast as the vehicle. If you have to stop

or turn quickly, or if there is a crash,

the items will keep going and can

cause an injury if they strike the driv-

er or a passenger.

• Using heavier suspension com-

ponents to get added durability

might not change your weight

ratings. Ask your dealer to help

you load your vehicle the right

way.
