Towing capacity:  
We do not recommend using this  
vehicle for trailer towing.  
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 lb pas-  
sengers in your vehicle, the  
amount of available cargo and lug-  
gage load capacity is 650 lbs.  
Total : 5 persons  
(Front seat : 2 persons,  
Rear seat : 3 persons)  
Cargo capacity:  
Seating capacity is the maximum  
number of occupants, including a  
driver, your vehicle may carry.  
The cargo capacity of your vehicle  
will increase or decrease depending  
on the weight and the number of  
occupants.  
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.  
(1400-750 (5 x 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 calcu-  
lated in Step 4.  
Steps For Determining Correct  
Load Limit -  
Do not overload the vehicle as there  
is a limit to the total weight, or load  
limit including occupants and cargo,  
the vehicle can carry.  
1.Locate the statement "The com-  
bined weight of occupants and  
cargo should never exceed XXX kg  
or XXX lbs.'' on your vehicle's plac-  
ard.  
6.If your vehicle will be towing a trail-  
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 vehi-  
cle.  
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.

(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The  
GVWR includes the weight of the  
vehicle, all occupants, fuel and

blunt objects in the passenger  
compartment of your vehicle  
(e.g. suit cases or unsecured  
child seats). These items may  
strike occupants during a sud-  
den stop or crash.

Overloading your vehicle can  
cause heat buildup in your vehi-  
cle's tires and possible tire fail-  
ure, increased stopping dis-  
tances and poor vehicle han-  
dling, all of which may result in  
a crash.

damage. Repairs would not be cov-  
ered by your warranty. Do not over-  
load your vehicle.
