For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5x150)=650 lbs). 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle. For details about trailer towing, see "Trailer towing" in Section 3. Cargo capacity Total load capacity EXAMPLE ON YOUR VEHICLE In case that 2 people with the combined weight of 166 kg (366 lb.) are riding in your vehicle with the total load capacity of 410 kg (900 lb.) (with bucket type front seat) or 475 kg (1050 lb.) (with bench type front seat), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows: With bucket type front seat 410 kg - 166 kg = 244 kg (900 lb. - 366 lb. = 534 lb.) With bench type front seat 475 kg - 166 kg = 309 kg (1050 lb. - 366 lb. = 684 lb.) 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 bucket type front seat 244 kg - 176 kg = 68 kg (534 lb. - 388 lb. = 146 lb.) With bench type front seat 309 kg - 176 kg = 133 kg (684 lb. - 388 lb. = 296 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. 235 2004 AVALON from Aug.
