Loading Cargo

The maximum load you can carry in your Honda is 535 kg (1,150 Ibs). Itincludes the total weight of all
passengers and their belongings, any accessories, and the tongue weight
of a trailer. This 535 kg (1,150 Ibs)
figure is shown as the Vehicle Capacity Weight on the tire infor-
mation label attached to the driver's

doorjamb.
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 (535 kg/
1,150 Ibs).
If you are towing a trailer, subtract
the tongue weight. See Towing a
Trailer on page 128.
This final number is the total weight of cargo you can load in or on the car.
With seven occupants (driver and six
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 asimportant as how much it weighs.
Make sure you load cargo so it will not shift while driving. Items stored
in the cargo area behind the thirdseat should be placed as far forward
as possible. You could store addi-
tional items on the floor behind the
front seats. Make sure they cannot roll under the front seat and
interfere with the pedals.
For greater cargo capacity, the thirdseat can be folded into the floor and
the second row seats can either be
removed or folded up (depending on
model). Passengers should never sit in the open cargo area while the car
is moving. They should sit in one of
the seats and wear their seat belts.
If you must carry large objects that
prevent you from closing the tailgate,
be aware that exhaust gas can enter
the interior. See Carbon Monoxide
Hazard on page 29.
