Advanced automobile
manufacturing tech-
niques permit you to operate your new vehi- cle without requiring a long break-in periodof low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the following precautions during the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at m
oderate speeds during
the break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden accelerati
on, prolonged high-
speed driving and sudden braking. These actions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel and oil consumption; th
is could ultimately
result in the malfunction of engine com-ponents. Be particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low shift posi- tion (low gears). Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10.) Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle (Refer to “T
railer towing” on page
6-11).

1.Locate the statement “The com- bined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’splacard.2.Determine the combined weightof the driver and passengers thatwill be riding in your vehicle.3.Subtract the combined weight ofthe driver and passengers fromXXX kg or XXX lbs.4.The resulting figure equals theavailable amount of cargo andluggage load capacity. For exam- ple, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five150 lbs. passengers in your vehi- cle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load
capacity is 650
lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650lbs.)
5.Determine the combined weightof luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the availablecargo and luggage load capacity calculated 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 determinehow this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

NOTE
 The following table shows examples on how to
calculate tota
l load, cargo/luggage and towing capa
cities of your vehicle with var
ying seating configura-
tions and number and size of occ
upants. This table is for illu
stration purposes only and may not
be accurate for the seating an
d load carry capacity of your
vehicle.  For the following example the combined weight of oc
cupants and cargo should ne
ver exceed 865 lbs (392 kg).
 Under a maximum loaded vehicle c
ondition, 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 tr
ailer towing, see the “Specifica
tions” section of this manual.

Towing a trailer will adversely affect your vehicle’s handling, performance, braking, durability and driving economy (fuel con-sumption, etc.). If you do tow a trailer
with this vehicle, be
sure to use proper e
quipment and cautious
steering and braking for safe driving. Never exceed the vehi
cle capacity weight,
maximum trailer weight (A), maximum
 Before driving and after traveling a short dis- tance, always check the load to make sure itis securely fastened to the roof carrier.Stop the vehicle periodi
cally and check that
the load remains secure. If the load is not secure, it could fall from the vehicle anddamage your vehicle,
another vehicle or cre-
ate a road hazard.NOTE
 To prevent wind noise or reduction in gas mileage, remove the roof carrier when not in use.  Before using an automatic car wash, check with the attendant to determine if the roofcarrier should be removed.

tongue weight (B) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). The vehicle capacity weight is printed on the tire and loading inform
ation placard as “com-
bined weight of oc
cupants and cargo”.
The weight includes the weight of all occu- pants and the total weight it can carry.For more information, refer to “Tire and load- ing information plac
ard” on page 6-7.
Recommendations for towing up to this limit are as follows.
The tongue weight of any trailer is important because it affects the vehicle capacity weight. The vehicle capacity weight includes anycargo you may carry, and the people who will be riding in the vehicl
e. If you will tow a
trailer, you must include the tongue weight ofthe trailer in your calc
ulation of the vehicle
capacity weight. For more information regarding vehicle capa
city weight, refer to
“Tire and loading information placard” on
page 6-7. Do not exceed the maximum tongue weightfor your vehicle. After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and then the to
ngue, separately, to see
if the weights are proper. Keep the trailer tongue load at 10% of the loaded trailer weight fo
r dead weight hitches.
Tongue loads can be adjusted by proper dis- tribution of the load in the trailer. This can be checked by separately weighing the loadedtrailer and then the tongue. The GAWRs are printed on the certification label which is riveted on the door sill on the driver’s side. Refer to “Vehicle labeling” on page 11-2.
