The maximum load for your vehicle
is 850 lbs. This figure includes the
total weight of all occupants, cargo,
and accessories.

Steps for determining correct load
limit:

Determine the combined weight
of the driver and any passengers.

Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers from
850 lbs.

The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage you can carry.
For example, if the maximum load
is 850 lbs and there are five 150 lb.
occupants in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage you can carry is 100 lbs.
(850

750 (5

150) = 100 lbs.)

The fuel tank is located in the trunk,
with a partition between the fuel
tank and the cargo space.

When you store small items in the
trunk, secure them so they will not
shift while you are driving. Loose
items can fly over the partition and
damage the fuel tank and fuel
system components.

Do not carry large, heavy, or pointed
objects in the trunk. They may
damage the fuel tank.

Determine the combined weight
of luggage and cargo in the vehicle.
That weight must not exceed the
available cargo and luggage load
capacity in step 3.
