04 09.01 SB21023 Cargo capacity Total load capacity EXAMPLE ON YOUR VEHICLE In case that 1 people with the combined weight of 80 kg (176 lb.) are riding in your vehicle with the total load capacity of 193 kg (425 lb.), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows: 193 kg - 80 kg = 113 kg. (425 lb. - 176 lb. = 249 lb.) From this condition, if 1 more passenger with the combined weight of 70 kg (154 lb.) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced as follows: 113 kg - 70 kg = 43 kg. (249 lb. - 154 lb. = 95 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 149. 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. 2005 MR2 from Aug. '04Prod. (OM17527U) 151
