Store or secure all items that could
be thrown around and hurt
someone during a crash.

Be sure items placed on the floor
behind the front seats cannot roll
under the seats and interfere with
the driver’s ability to operate the
pedals, or with the proper
operation of the seats.

Keep the glove box closed while
driving. If it is open, a passenger
could injure their knees during a
crash or sudden stop.

This figure includes the total weight
of all occupants, cargo, accessories,
and the tongue weight if you are
towing a trailer.

The final number is the total weight
of cargo you can carry.

If you are towing a trailer, add the
tongue weight to the number
above.

Add up the weight of all occupants.

To figure out how much cargo you
can carry:

The maximum load for your car is
850 lbs (395 kg).

Do not put any items on top of the
rear shelf. They can block your
view and be thrown around the car
during a crash.

Subtract the total from 850 lbs
(395 kg).
