The vehicle placard also shows seating capacity of your vehicle. The total load capacity includes the total weight of driver and all passengers and their belongings, any cargo, any optional equipment such as a trailer hitch, roof rack or bike carrier, etc., and the tongue load of a trailer. Therefore cargo capacity can be calculated by the following method. Cargo capacity = Load limit − (total weight of occupants + total weight of optional equipment + tongue load of a trailer (if applicable)) For information about vehicle loading, refer to the " Loading your vehicle" section in chapter 8. tow a trailer with your vehicle. !

tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km).
Rotating the tires involves switch-
ing the front and rear tires on the
right-hand side of the vehicle and
similarly
switching
the
front
and
rear tires on the left-hand side of
the vehicle. (Each tire must be kept
on its original side of the vehicle.)
Replace any damaged or unevenly
worn tires at the time of rotation.
After tire rotation, adjust the tire
pressures and make sure the wheel
nuts
are
correctly
tightened.
A
tightening torque specification and
a tightening sequence specification
for the wheel nuts can be found in
the
Flat tires
section in chapter 9.
&
Vehicle load limit
how to
determine
The load capacity of your vehicle is
determined by weight, not by avail-
able cargo space. The load limit of
your
vehicle
is
shown
on
the
vehicle
placard
attached
to
the
driver
s
side
B-pillar.
Locate
the
statement
The
combined
weight
of
occupants
and
cargo
should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs
on your vehicle
s placard.
The
vehicle
placard
also
shows
seating capacity of your vehicle.
The total load capacity includes the
total weight of driver and all pas-
sengers and their belongings, any
cargo, any optional equipment such
as a trailer hitch, roof rack or bike
carrier, etc., and the tongue load of
a trailer. Therefore cargo capacity
can be calculated by the following
method.
Cargo capacity = Load limit
-
(total
weight of occupants + total weight
of
optional
equipment
+
tongue
load of a trailer (if applicable))
For information about vehicle load-
ing,
refer
to
the
Loading
your
vehicle
section in chapter 8.
NOTE
Your vehicle is neither designed
nor
intended
to
be
used
for
trailer towing. Therefore, never
tow a trailer with your vehicle.
