VEHICLE LOADING
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is in the
following chart and on the tire pressure label attached to
the driver door pillar.
Vehicle Loading Capacities
Front Seat Occupants .......................2
Cargo Capacity (with two persons) ....115lbs. (52 kg)
Rated Vehicle Capacity............415lbs. (188 kg)
Roof Luggage Rack
External racks do not increase the total load carrying
capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant
and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the
roof luggage rack, do not exceed the rated vehicle capac-
ity. The maximum recommended roof load for your
vehicle is 110 lbs. (50 kg).
CAUTION!
• To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle,
DO NOT carry any loads on the roof luggage rack
which may come in contact with the roof panel.
The load should be secured and placed on top of
the rack, not directly on the roof. If it is necessary
to place some part of the load on the roof, place a
blanket or some other protection between the
load and the roof surface.
• To avoid damage to the roof luggage rack and
vehicle, do not exceed the rated load capacity of
your roof luggage rack system maximum load
capacity. Always distribute heavy loads as evenly
as possible and secure the load appropriately.
• Long loads which extend over the windshield,
such as wood panels or surfboards, should be
carefully secured to both the front and rear of the
vehicle.
• Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners care-
fully when carrying large or heavy loads on the
roof luggage rack. Wind forces, due to natural
causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden
upward loads. This is especially true on large flat
loads and may result in damage to the cargo or
your vehicle.
