N00508700255
Advanced automobile manufacturing techniques permit you to
operate your new vehicle without requiring a long break-in
period of low-speed driving.
However, you can add to the future performance and economy
of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km).
Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in
period.

Avoid revving the engine.

Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, sudden accelera-
tion, prolonged high-speed driving and sudden braking.
These would have a detrimental effect on the engine and
also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, which
could result in malfunction of the engine components. Be
particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low
gear.

Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity
(See “Cargo load precautions” on page 4-12).

Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle (See
“Trailer towing” on page 4-15).

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
N00630200052
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on
your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passen-
gers that will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers
from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX”
amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lbs.
passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x
150) = 650 lbs.)
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 cal-
culated 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 available cargo
and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

NOTE
The following table shows examples on how to calculate total load, cargo/luggage and towing capacities of your vehicle with
varying seating configurations and number and size of occupants. This table is for illustration purposes only and may not be
accurate for the seating and load carry capacity of your vehicle.

For the following example the combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 865 lbs (392 kg).

Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition, gross axle weight ratings (GAWR’s) for the front and rear axles must not be
exceeded. For further information on GAWR’s, vehicle loading and trailer towing, see the “Specifications” section of this
manual.

Weight limitsNever exceed the vehicle capacity weight, maximum trailer
weight (A), maximum tongue weight (B) and Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).Vehicle capacity weightThe vehicle capacity weight is printed on the tire and loading
information placard as “combined weight of occupants and
cargo”.
This weight includes the weight of all occupants and the total
weight it can carry.
For detail information, refer to “Tire and loading information
placard” on page 4-9.
Maximum trailer weightRecommendations for towing up to this limit are as follows.Tongue weightThe tongue weight of any trailer is important because it affects
the vehicle capacity weight.
The vehicle capacity weight includes any cargo you may carry,
and the people who will be riding in the vehicle. If you tow a
trailer, you must include the tongue weight of the trailer in your
calculation of the vehicle capacity weight. Refer to “Tire and
loading information placard” on page 4-9, for more informa-
tion about vehicle capacity weight.
Do not exceed the tongue weight at 10 % of the loaded trailer
weight.
Example:
In case of your loaded weight is 3,500 lbs. (1,588 kg), the
tongue weight is 350 lbs. (160 kg).
