3. Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs
4. The resulting figure equals the availa-
ble amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity. For example, if the “XXX”
amount equals 1,400 lbs and there will
be five 150 lbs passengers in the vehi-
cle, the amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (1,400 -
750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs)
5. Determine the combined weight of lug-
gage and cargo being loaded on the ve-
hicle. That weight may not safely exceed
the available cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity calculated in Step 4.
6. If the vehicle will be towing a trailer,
load from your trailer will be transferred
to the vehicle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the availa-
ble cargo and luggage load capacity of
the vehicle.
Payload
The maximum payload is the sum of the
weight of the occupants and the cargo.
The greater the weight of the occupants, the
less cargo that can be transported.
Stowing and securing cargo
To stow and secure cargo, note the follow-
ing:
– Cover sharp edges and corners on the
cargo.
– Do not stack cargo above the upper edge
of the backrests.
– If stowing sufficiently large items in the
cargo area, fold down the rear seat back-
rests completely.
– Small, light-weight cargo: Secure with
tensioning/draw straps or with a cargo
net.
– Larger, heavy cargo: Secure with cargo
straps.
– Stow particularly heavy cargo as far for-
ward as possible, directly behind and be-
low the rear seat backrests. When the
rear seat is not occupied, secure each
of the outer seat belts in the opposite
buckle.
Cargo floor panel
Principle
To stow cargo, a storage compartment is
provided under the cargo area floor. The
cargo area floor can be folded up and re-
moved.
Safety information
Warning
Improper use of the cargo area floor can
lead to a risk of objects flying about dur-
ing braking and evasive maneuvers, for ex-
ample. There is a risk of injury and risk of
damage to property.
– Do not use the cargo area floor to
separate the cargo area and vehicle
interior in the sense of a luggage net.
– Only use the cargo area floor in the
folded-up position when the rear seat
backrests are folded up and locked.
