It is important to fami
liarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:  Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by distributing to each axle its share of themaximum loaded vehicle weight and dividing by two.  Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by dis- tributing to each axle its share of the curb weight, accessory weight, and normaloccupant weight and dividing by two. Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of - (a) Curb weight;(b) Accessory weight; (c) Vehicle capacity weight; and (d) Production options weight. Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil, and cool-ant.  Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those standard items whichmay be replaced) of automatic transmis- sion, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, radio, and heater,to the extent that these items are available as factory- installed equipment (whether installed or not).
 Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the vehicle’s designated seating capacity. Production options weight: the combined weight of those installed regular produc- tion options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg)in excess of those standard items which they replace, not previously considered in curb weight or accessory weight, includ-ing heavy duty brakes, ride levelers, roofrack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.  Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the number of specified occupants.(In your vehicle the number is 3)  Occupant distribution: distribution of occupants in a vehicle as specified. (Inyour vehicle the distribution is 2 in front, 1 in second row seat)
N00630100309
The tire and loading information placard is located on the driver’s door sill.
This placard shows the maximum number of occupants permitted to ride in your vehicle aswell as “the combined weight of occupants and cargo” (A), which is called the vehicle capacity weight. The weight of roof road isincluded in the definition of “cargo” when determining the vehicle capacity weight. This placard also tells you the size and recom-mended inflation pressure for the originalequipment tires on your vehicle. For more information, refer to “Tires” on page 9-17.
* :150 lbs (68 kg) is the weight of one per- son as defined by U.S.A. and Canadian regulations.

N00629700464
To determine the cargo load capacity for your vehicle, subtract the weight of all vehicleoccupants from the vehicle capacity weight. For added information, if needed, refer to “Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit”on page 6-8.DO NOT USE the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat- ing and Gross Axle Weight Rating numbers listed on the safety certification label (A)located on the inside sill of the driver’s door as the guide for passengers and/or cargo weight.
N00630400113
Cargo loads Cargo load precautions
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the combined weights of the driver, passengers and cargo and must never exceed the vehicle capacity weight. Exceeding the vehicle capacity weight will adversely affect vehicle performance, including handling and braking, and maycause an accident. Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo or luggage cannot move when your vehicle is in motion.Having either the rear view blocked, or your cargo being thrown inside the cabin if you suddenly have to brake can cause aserious accident or injury or death. Put cargo or luggage in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.
Loading cargo on the roof
WA R N I N G Weight placed on the roof of the vehicle will raise the vehicle’s center of gravity and adversely affect its handling charac-teristics. As a result, driving errors or emergency maneuvers could lead to a loss of control and result in an accident. Driveslowly and avoid excessive maneuvers such as sudden braking or quick turning.
 Make sure that the weight of luggage and the roof carrier do not exceed the maxi- mum roof load, 110 lb (50 kg). If the maxi- mum roof load is exceeded, this could cause damage to the ve
hicle or result in an
accident. The total weight of all occupants and lug- gage, including your roof load, must not exceed the vehicle capacity weight. For more information, refer to “Tire and load-ing information placard” on page 11-3. Roof load is determined by adding the weight of the roof carrier and the weight of the luggage placed on the roof carrier. For additional information, refer to “Maximum roof load” on page 11-4.CAUTION Do not load luggage directly onto the roof. Use a roof carrier th
at properly fits your
vehicle. For installation, refer to the instruction man- ual provided with the roof carrier. Place the luggage on the carrier so that its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carrier.WA R N I N G

N00946000188
Wax your vehicle once or twice a year, or when water does not bead up on the paint. Use a soft cloth to put a small amount of wax on the painted surfaces. After the wax hasdried, polish with a dry soft cloth. Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight. You should wax when the painted surfacesare cool.
N00946100059
If painted surfaces have been severely dam-aged and lost their original luster and colortone, polish the surface lightly with a fine polishing compound. Avoid limiting your polishing to the damaged surface only; polisha somewhat wider area, moving the polishing cloth in one direction. After polishing, flush the compound from the surface and apply acoat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
N00946200063
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coatshould be touched up as soon as possible withtouch-up paint to prevent corrosion. Check body areas facing the road or the tires carefully for damage to the paint caused byflying stones, etc. The paint code number for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate in the engine compart-ment.
N00946300178
Use a sponge or chamois to clean these parts.If a vehicle wax sticks to a gray or blackrough surface of the bumper, molding or lights, the surface may appear white in color. In this case, wipe it
off using lukewarm water
and a soft cloth or chamois.
NOTE
 When the door is frozen, opening it by force may tear off or crack the rubber gasket installed around the door. Pour warm water to melt the ice. Be sure to thoroughly wipe off the water after opening the door. To pre-vent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, hood, etc., treat
with silicone lubri-
cant.
Waxing
CAUTION Waxes containing high abrasive compounds should not be used. These waxes remove rust and stain effectively from the paintwork, butare harmful to the finish
on the paint and the
plate, because they also remove clearcoat. They are also harmful to other glossy sur-faces such as the grill
e, trim, moldings, etc.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, benzine or paint thinners to remove road tar or other dirt from the vehicle surface. Do not put wax on the areas having black matte coating because it can cause uneven discoloration, patches, blurs, etc. If these get wax on them, wipe the wax off right awaywith a soft cloth and warm water. On vehicles with sunroof, be careful not to apply any wax on the weatherstrip (black rubber) when waxing the area around the sunroof opening.If stained with wax, the weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal with the sun- roof.
Polishing
CAUTION
Damaged paint Cleaning plastic parts
CAUTION Do not use a scrubbing brush or other rough scrubber as these may damage the plastic surface.  Do not use wax containing compounds (pol- ishing powder) which may damage the plas-tic surface.
