capacity to carry you, 4 of your friends and all the golf bags? You and

four friends average 220 lb. (99 kg) each and the golf bags weigh

approximately 30 lb. (13.5 kg) each. The calculation would be: 1400 –

(5 x 220) – (5 x 30) = 1400 – 1100 – 150 = 150 lb. Yes, you have

enough load capacity in your vehicle to transport four friends and

your golf bags. In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg —

(5 x 99 kg) — (5 x 13.5 kg) = 635 — 495 — 67.5 = 72.5 kg.

• A final example for your vehicle with 1400 lb. (635 kg) of cargo and

luggage capacity. You and one of your friends decide to pick up

cement from the local home improvement store to finish that patio

you have been planning for the past 2 years. Measuring the inside of

the vehicle with the rear seat folded down, you have room for 12-100

lb. (45 kg) bags of cement. Do you have enough load capacity to

transport the cement to your home? If you and your friend each weigh

220 lb. (99 kg), the calculation would be: 1400 – (2 x 220) –

(12 x 100) = 1400 – 440 – 1200 = – 240 lb. No, you do not have

enough cargo capacity to carry that much weight. In metric units, the

calculation would be: 635 kg — (2 x 99 kg) — (12 x 45 kg) = 635 —

198 — 540 = —103 kg. You will need to reduce the load weight by at

least 240 lb. (104 kg). If you remove 3-100 lb. (45 kg) cement bags,

then the load calculation would be:

1400 – (2 x 220) – (9 x 100) = 1400 – 440 – 900 = 60 lb. Now you

have the load capacity to transport the cement and your friend home. .

In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg — (2 x 99 kg) —

(9 x 45 kg) = 635 — 198 — 405 = 32 kg.

The above calculations also assume that the loads are positioned in your

vehicle in a manner that does not overload the Front or the Rear Gross

Axle Weight Rating specified for your vehicle on the Certification label

found on the edge of the driver’s door.

TRAILER TOWING

Your vehicle is capable of towing a trailer up to 1,000 lb. (454 kg) gross

trailer weight with a maximum tongue load of 100 lb. (45 kg). Do not

tow a trailer until your vehicle has been driven at least 500 miles (800 km).

Towing a trailer places an additional load on your vehicle’s engine,

transmission, brakes, tires and suspension. Inspect these components

carefully after towing.

Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the

certification label.
