(6)If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will betransferred to your vehicle. Consul t this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehi-
cle.
Lexus does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Your vehicle is
not designed for trailer towing.
Example based on your vehicle
Cargo capacity
Total load capacity
When 1 person with the weight of 176 lb. (80 kg) is riding in your vehicle,
which has a total load capacity of 34 5 lb. (155 kg), the available amount
of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows:
345 lb. — 176 lb. = 169 lb. (155 kg —80 kg = 75 kg)
In this condition, if 1 more occupant wi th the weight of 154 lb. (70 kg) gets on,
the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced as follows:
169 lb. — 154 lb. = 15 lb. (75 kg — 70 kg = 5 kg)
As shown in the above example, if the number of occupants increases,
the cargo and luggage load equaling the weight of the occupant who got
on later, by an amount. In other wo rds, if an increase in the number of
occupants causes an excess of the total load capacity (combined weight
of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo
and luggage on your vehicle.
