2-5. Driving information Example based on your vehicle Cargo capacity Total load capacity 2 When driving When 2 people with the combined weight of 366 lb. (166 kg) are riding in your vehicle, which has a total load capacity of 830 lb. (375 kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows: 825 lb. - 366 lb. = 459 lb. (370 kg -166 kg = 204 kg) In this condition, if 3 more passengers with the combined weight of 388 lb. (176 kg) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced as follows: 459 lb. - 388 lb. = 71 lb. (204 kg - 176 kg = 28 kg) As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount that equals the increased weight due to the additional occupants. In other words, if an increase in the number of occupants causes an excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle. 313
