Loading Cargo
The maximum load you can carry in
your Honda is 395 kg (850 Ibs). It
includes the total weight of all
passengers and their belongings, and
any accessories. This 395 kg (850
Ibs) figure is shown as the Vehicle
Capacity Weight on the tire infor-
mation label attached to the inside of
the glove box.
To figure out how much cargo you
can carry:
Figure the total "occupant weight"
you will be transporting. To do this,
multiply the number of people
(driver and all passengers) by 70
kg (150 Ibs).
Subtract this number from the
Vehicle Capacity Weight (395 k g /
850 Ibs).
This final number is the total weight
of cargo you can load in or on the car.
With five occupants (driver and four
passengers), the maximum recom-
mended weight for cargo is 45 kg
(100 Ibs).
Where you store this cargo, and how
well you secure it, are just as
important as how much it weighs.
Make sure you load cargo so it will
not shift while driving. When storing
items in the trunk, place them as far
forward as possible.
You could store additional items on
the floor behind the front seats.
Make sure they cannot roll under the
front seat and interfere with the
pedals.
If you must carry large objects that
prevent you from closing the trunk
lid, be aware that exhaust gas can
enter the interior. See
Carbon
Monoxide Hazard on page 28 .
Never place items on the shelf
behind the back seat. Those items
can fly forward and injure you or
your passengers if you brake hard or
are involved in a collision.
