Cargo loads
Cargo load precautions
To determine the cargo load capacity for your vehicle, subtract the weight of all vehicle occupants from the vehicle capacity weight. For added information, if needed, refer to “Step for Determining Correct Load Limit” on page 4-10. DO NOT USE the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and Gross Axle Weight Rating numbers listed on the safety certification label (A) located on the driver’s side door pillar as the guide for passengers and/or cargo weight.
WARNING! ● To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the
combined weights of the driver, passengers and cargo and must never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
● Exceeding the vehicle capacity weight will adversely affect vehicle performance, including handling and braking, and may cause an accident.
● Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo or luggage cannot move when your vehicle is in motion. Having either the rear view blocked, or your cargo being thrown inside the cabin if you suddenly have to brake can cause a serious accident or injury or death.
● Put cargo or luggage in the cargo area of your vehi- cle. Try to spread the weight evenly.
