towing, refer to page 320.
Launch Control enables opti-
mum acceleration on surfaces
with good traction under dry sur-
rounding conditions.
The use of Launch Control
causes premature component
wear since this function rep-
resents a very heavy load for
the vehicle.
Do not use Launch Control
during the break-in, refer to
page 254, period.
Do not steer the steering wheel
when driving off with Launch
Control.
Launch Control is available
when the engine is at operating
temperature. The engine is at
operating temperature after an
uninterrupted trip of at least 6
miles/10 km.

3 Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and pas-
sengers 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 1,400 lbs and
there will be five 150 lbs pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs (1,400–750 (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
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 determine how this
reduces the available cargo
and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle. The maximum load is the sum of
the weight of the occupants and
the cargo.
The greater the weight of the
occupants, the less cargo that
can be transported.

Cover sharp edges and cor-
ners on the cargo.
 Heavy cargo: stow as far for-
ward and as low as possible,
ideally directly behind the
cargo partition.
 Smaller and lighter cargo:
secure with ratchet straps or
with a cargo net or draw
straps.
 Larger and heavy cargo:
secure with cargo straps.Load
