CAUTION Even if the total load of occupant's weight and the cargo load is less than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. That may cause not only damage to the tire but also deterioration to the steering ability due to unbalance of the vehicle, causing an accident. Weight of removed third seat Cargo capacity SEATING CONFIGURATION VARIATION In case of removing the third seat, it is possible to load as much cargo as the weight of the removed seat. (Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) - (Total weight of occupants) + (weight of the removed third seat) Third seat weight, kg (lb.): Right 20 (44) Left 20 (44) Types of tires Determine what kind of tires your vehicle is originally equipped with. 1. Summer tires Summer tires are high −speed capability tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow −covered or icy roads. For driving on snow −covered or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires. 2. All season tires All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use all year round. 233
