Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other
objects to protrude into the area around the
accelerator and brake pedals and obstruct their

Determining loading limit
Corrosion on brake rotors
When the vehicle is driven only occasionally,
during extended periods when the vehicle is not
used at all, and in operating conditions where
brake applications are less frequent, there is an
increased tendency for corrosion to form on
rotors, while contaminants accumulate on the
brake pads. This occurs because the minimum
pressure which must be exerted by the pads
during brake applications to clean the rotors is
not reached.

Locate the following statement on your
vehicle's placard*:
The combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX lbs. or YYY kg, as otherwise the vehicle
may be damaged and unstable driving con-
ditions may result.<
Should corrosion form on the brake rotors, the
brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating
effect that even extended application will fail to
cure.
Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
When the vehicle is parked

Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX lbs. or YYY kg.
Condensation forms in the automatic air condi-
tioner system during operation, and then exits
under the vehicle. Traces of condensed water
under the vehicle are therefore normal.
The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount equals
800
lbs. and there will be four 150-lbs. pas-
Before driving into a car wash
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity is
200 lbs.:
To prevent the exterior mirrors from being
damaged due to the width of the vehicle,
always fold them in by hand before entering an
automatic car wash.<
800 lbs. minus 600 lbs. = 200 lbs.

6.
Determine the combined weight of luggage
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated
in step 4.
Cargo loading
To avoid loading the tires beyond their
approved carrying capacity, never over-
load the vehicle. Overloading can lead to over-
heating and increases the rate at which damage
develops inside the tires. The ultimate result
can assume the form of a sudden blow-out.<
If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of
the load from your trailer will be transferred
to your vehicle. Consult the manual for
transporting a trailer to determine how this
may reduce the available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
