Loading the Car
The maximum your car can carry, including passengers, cargo, and
trailer tongue weight, is 950 Ibs (431 kg). This is the Vehicle Capacity
Weight noted on the tire label attached to the driver's doorjamb.
To calculate the car's load capacity, start with 950 Ibs (431 kg). First
subtract 150 Ibs (68 kg) for each person, including the driver. For
example, if there will be five people in the car (750 Ibs, 340 kg), you can
carry up to 200 Ibs (91 kg) of cargo.
If you are towing a trailer, remember to also subtract the trailer tongue
weight (see page
97
) from the 950 Ibs (431 kg) capacity.
After you have determined how much cargo you can carry, remember
that where you put cargo is also important. Do not load cargo above the
top of the rear seat-back. The maximum you can carry behind the rear
seat is 200 Ibs (91 kg). To maintain a better weight distribution, place
heavier items toward the center of the car.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity for your car;
overloading may affect vehicle handling and tire life.
Load cargo so it will not contact the printed defroster wires in the
rear window. The wires may be damaged if the cargo rubs against
them.
