Carrying Cargo

Load Limit

The maximum load for your vehicle

is 1,277 Ibs (580 kg).

This figure includes the total weight

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

To figure out how much cargo you

can carry:

Add up the weight of all occupants.

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

above.

Subtract the total from 1,277 Ibs

(580 kg).

The final number is the total weight

of cargo you can carry.

When you load luggage, the total

weight of the vehicle, all passengers,

cargo, and trailer tongue load must
not exceed the Gross Vehicle

Weight Rating (GVWR). The load

for the front and rear axles also must

not exceed the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). The GVWR and

GAWR are printed on the tire
information label attached to the
driver's doorjamb (see page

322

).

Carrying Items in the Passenger

Compartment

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.

Before Driving

Overloading or improper

loading can affect handling and

stability and cause a crash in
which you can be hurt or killed.

Follow all load limits and other

loading guidelines in this
manual.
