Cargo loading
Avoid overloading the vehicle so
that the permissible loading
capacity of the tires is not exceeded.
Overloading can lead to overheating
and increases the rate at which damage
develops inside the tires. The ultimate
result can assume the form of a sudden
air loss.

Determining loading limit
1. Locate the following statement on
your vehicle's placard
*
:
The combined weight of occu-
pants and cargo should never
exceed XXX Ibs. or YYY kg, as other-
wise the vehicle may be damaged
and unstable driving conditions may
result.
<
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 Ibs.

4. The resulting figure equals the avail-
able amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount
equals 1350 Ibs. and there will be
five 150 Ibs. passengers in your vehi-
cle, the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is
600 Ibs.:
1350 Ibs. minus 750 Ibs. = 600 Ibs.
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 calculated
in step 4
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,
load from your trailer will be trans-
ferred to your vehicle. Consult the
manual for transporting a trailer to
determine how this may reduce the
available cargo and luggage load
capacity of your vehicle.
