Loading Your Vehicle

NOTEFor better fuel economy, do not carry
unneeded cargo.
■
Vehicle Capacity Weight
The load capacity of your vehicle is deter-
mined by weight, not by available cargo
space. The maximum load you can carry
in your vehicle is shown on the tire infla-
tion pressure label attached to the driver’s
side center pillar. It includes the total
Stow cargo and luggage in the
trunk whenever possible.To prevent cargo and luggage
from sliding forward during
braking, do not stack anything in
the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo
and luggage low, as close to the
floor as possible.When you carry something inside
the vehicle, secure it whenever
you can to prevent it from being
thrown around inside the vehicle
during sudden stops, sharp turns
or in an accident.Secure long items properly to
prevent them from shooting
forward and causing serious
injury during a sudden stop.Never exceed the maximum load
limit. If you do, some parts on
your vehicle can break, or it can
change the way your vehicle
handles. This could result in loss
of control and cause personal
injury. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.
Do not place cargo or luggage in
or on the following locations as
the item may get under the clutch,
brake, or accelerator pedal and
prevent the pedals from being
depressed properly, block the
driver’s vision, or hit the driver or
passengers, causing an accident:
- At the feet of the driver- On the front passenger or rear
seats (when stacking items)- On the rear shelf- On the instrument panel- On the dashboard
CAUTION
Do not carry spray cans, containers
with flammable or corrosive liquids
or any other dangerous items inside
the vehicle.

weight of the driver and all passengers,
their belongings, and any optional equip-
ment.■
GVWR and GAWR (Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating and
Gross Axle Weight Rating)Certification labelThe certification label attached to the
driver’s side center pillar shows GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating).
The GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) must
never exceed the GVWR. GVW is the
combined total of weight of the vehicle,
fuel, driver, all passengers, luggage, and
any optional equipment. Therefore, the
GVW changes depending on the situation.In addition, the tota
l weight applied to
each axle (GAW) must never exceed the
GAWR. The front and rear GAWs can be
adjusted by relocating luggage inside the
vehicle.
Even if the total weight of your luggage is
lower than the vehicl e capacity weight,
either front or rear GAW may exceed the
GAWR, depending on the distribution of
the luggage.
When possible, the load should be evenly
distributed throughout the vehicle.
If you carry heavy loads in the vehicle, you
should confirm that GVW and front and
rear GAWs are within the GVWR and
GAWR by putting your vehicle on a
vehicle scale, found at a commercial
weighing station.
Do not use replacement tires with a lower
load range than the originals because
they may lower the GVWR and GAWR
limitations. Replacement tires with a
higher load range than the originals do not
increase the GVWR and GAWR limita-
tions.
8-10. Trailer TowingSUBARU assumes no responsibility for
injuries or vehicle damage that may result
from trailer towing, from any trailer towing
equipment or from any errors or omissions
in the instructions accompanying such
equipment. SUBARU warranties do not
apply to vehicle damage or malfunction
caused by trailer towing.

CAUTION
Your vehicle is neither designed nor
intended to be used for trailer tow-
ing. Therefore, never tow a trailer
with your vehicle.

The vehicle placard shows original
tire size, recommended cold tire
inflation pressure on each tire at
maximum loaded vehicle weight,
seating capacity and loading infor-
mation.
▼Adverse safety consequences
of under-inflation
Driving at high speeds with exces-
sively low tire pressures can cause
the tires to flex severely and to
rapidly become hot. A sharp
increase in temperature could
cause tread separation, and failure
of the tire(s). Possible resulting loss
of vehicle control could lead to an
accident.
▼ Measuring and adjusting air
pressure to achieve proper
inflation
Check and, if necessary, adjust the
pressure of each tire (including the
spare) at least once a month and
before any long journey. Check the
tire pressures when the tires are
cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures to the
specific values. Driving even a short
distance warms up the tires and
increases the tire pressures. Also,
the tire pressures are affected by
the outside temperature. It is best to
check tire pressure outdoors before
driving the vehicle. When a tire
becomes warm, t
he air inside it
expands, causing the tire pressure
to increase. Be careful not to
mistakenly release air from a warm
tire to reduce its pressure.

Tire Care – Maintenance and
Safety PracticesCheck on a daily basis that the
tires are free from serious damage,
nails, and stones. At the same time,
check the tires for abnormal wear.
Inspect the tire tread regularly
and replace the tires before their
tread wear indicators become
visible. When a tire’s tread wear
indicator becomes visible, the tire is
worn beyond the acceptable limit
and must be replaced immediately.
With a tire in this condition, driving
at even low speeds in wet weather
can cause the vehicle to hydro-
plane. Possible resulting loss of
vehicle control can lead to an acci-
dent.
To maximize the life of each tire
and ensure that the tires wear
uniformly, it is best to rotate the tires
every 6,000 miles (10,000 km). For
information about tire rotation, refer
to
"Rotational Direction of Tires"
P364.
Replace any damaged or unevenly
worn tire at the time of rotation. After
tire rotation, adjust the tire pres-

are correctly tightened. For informa-
tion about the tightening torque and

Vehicle Load Limit – How to
Determine
The load capacity of your vehicle is
determined by weight, not by avail-
able cargo space. The load limit of
your vehicle is shown on the vehicle
placard attached to the driver’s side
B-pillar. Locate the statement “
The
combined weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs
”
on your vehicle’s placard.
The vehicle placard also shows
seating capacity of your vehicle.
The total load capacity includes the
total weight of driver and all passen-
gers and their belongings, any
cargo, any optional equipment such
as a trailer hitch, roof rack or bike
carrier, etc., and the tongue load of
a trailer. Therefore cargo capacity
can be calculated by the following
method. Cargo capacity = Load limit
− (total
weight of occupants + total weight of
optional equipment)
For information about vehicle
loading, refer to
"Loading Your Vehicle"
P297.▼
Calculating total and load
capacities varying seating
configurations
Calculate the available load
capacity as shown in the following
examples:
Example 1A Vehicle capacity weight of the
vehicle is 800 lbs (363 kg), which is
indicated on the vehicle placard with
the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed 363 kg or 800
lbs”.
For example, if the vehicle has one
occupant weighing 154 lbs (70 kg)
CAUTION
Your vehicle is neither
designed nor intended to be
used for trailer towing. There-
fore, never tow a trailer with
your vehicle.

plus cargo weighing 551 lbs (250
kg).
1. Calculate the total weight.
2. Calculate the available load
capacity by subtracting the total
weight from the vehicle capacity
weight of 800 lbs (363 kg).
3. The result of step 2 shows that a
further 95 lbs (43 kg) of cargo can
be carried.Example 1B
For example, if a person weighing
176 lbs (80 kg) now enters the same
vehicle (bringing the number of
occupants to two), the calculations
are as follows:
1. Calculate the total weight.
2. Calculate the available load
capacity.3. The total weight now exceeds
the capacity weight by 81 lbs (37
kg), so the cargo weight must be
reduced by 81 lbs (37 kg) or more.
Total weight
