It is very importan
t to know how much
weight your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight andincludes the weight of all occupants, cargo (including the roof load), non-factory-
installed options, if any, being towed. The tire and loading information placard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how much weight it may properly carry. 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 the maximum loaded vehicle weight anddividing by two.  Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined bydistributing to each axle its share of the curb weight, accessory weight, and nor- mal occupant 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 which may be replaced) of automatic transmis-sion, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, radio, and heater, to the extent that these items are availableas factory- installed equipment (whetherinstalled 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 whichthey 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)
WA R N I N G Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.
Do not keep the steering wheel fully turned for a long time When leaving the vehicle Loading information
WA R N I N G Never overload your vehicle. Overloading can damage your vehicle, adversely affectvehicle performance, including handling and braking, cause tire failure, and result in an accident.
