HONDA 2002 Insight - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 132)

This figure includes the total weight
of all occupants, cargo, and
accessories.
To figure out how much cargo you
can carry:
Add up the weight of all occupants.
The final number is the total weight
of cargo you can carry.
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 the lid is open, a
passenger could injure their knees
during a crash or sudden stop.
Do not stack objects higher than
the tops of the seat-backs. They
could block your view and be
thrown about the vehicle during a
crash or sudden stop.
Distribute cargo evenly on the
floor of the cargo area, placing the
heaviest items on the bottom and
as far forward as possible.
Tie down items that could be
thrown about the car during a
crash or sudden stop.
The maximum load for your vehicle
is 400 lbs (185 kg).
Subtract the total from 400 lbs
(185 kg).
