'04 Solara_U (L/O 0402) Cargo capacity Total load capacity EXAMPLE ON YOUR VEHICLE Coupe-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.), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows: 410 kg - 166 kg = 244 kg. (900 lb. - 366 lb. = 534 lb.) Convertible-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 342 kg (754 lb.), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows: 342 kg - 166 kg = 176 kg. (754 lb. - 366 lb. = 388 lb.) From this condition, if 2 more passengers with the combined weight of 93 kg (205 lb.) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced as follows: Coupe 244 kg - 93 kg = 151 kg. (534 lb. - 205 lb. = 329 lb.) Convertible 176 kg - 93 kg = 83 kg. (388 lb. - 205 lb. = 183 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 243. 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. 245 2004 SOLARA from Feb. '04 Prod. (OM33640U)
