DRIVING TIPS Example on your vehicle From this condition, if 3 more passengers with the combined weight of 176 kg (388 lb.) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced as follows: With third seats 378 kg - 176 kg = 202 kg. (834 lb. - 388 lb. = 446 lb.) Without third seats 288 kg - 176 kg = 112 kg. (634 lb. - 388 lb. = 246 lb.) " 1 2 Cargo capacity Total load capacity In case that 2 people with the combined weight of 166 kg (366 lb.) are riding in your vehicle, the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows: With third seats Total load capacity: 544 kg (1200 lb.) 544 kg - 166 kg = 378 kg. (1200 lb. - 366 lb. = 834 lb.) Without third seats Total load capacity: 454 kg (1000 lb.) 454 kg - 166 kg = 288 kg. (1000 lb. - 366 lb. = 634 lb.) As shown in the above example, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load equaling the combined weight of occupants who got on later must be reduced. In other words, if the increase in the number of occupants causes the excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you have to reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle. For details about total load capacity, see "Vehicle load limits" on page 483. 487
