3Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and pas-
sengers from XXX kg or XXX
lbs.
4The 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).
5Determine 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.
6If 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.
