luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (1,400 -
750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs)
5. Determine the combined weight of lug-
gage and cargo being loaded on the ve-
hicle. That weight may not safely exceed
the available cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,
load from your trailer will be transferred
to your vehicle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the availa-
ble cargo and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle.
Payload
The maximum payload is the sum of the
weight of the occupants and the cargo.
The greater the weight of the occupants,
the less cargo that can be transported.
Stowing and securing cargo
– Cover sharp edges and corners on the
cargo.
– Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as pos-
sible, directly behind and at the bottom
of the rear seat backrests.
– Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is
not occupied, secure each of the outer
seat belts in the opposite buckle.
– Fold down the rear seat backrests com-
pletely to stow large cargo.
– Do not stack cargo above the upper edge
of the backrests.
– Small and light cargo: secure with lug-
gage straps or draw straps.
– Larger and heavy cargo: secure with
cargo straps.
Loading aid
Principle
For easier loading, the vehicle is equipped
with loading aid. When the loading aid is
opened, objects can be stowed that would
not otherwise fit through the trunk lid
opening.
Safety information
Warning
When raising and lowering the loading
aid, body parts can be jammed, for in-
stance by the mechanism. There is a risk
of injury. Make sure that the area of move-
ment of the loading aid is clear during op-
eration.
Warning
With a lifted loading aid, vehicle parts can
protrude and limit the view. There may be
a risk of accidents and risk of damage to
property. Before driving off, make sure
that the loading aid is completely lowered
and the trunk lid is closed.
