Corrosion on brake rotors
develops inside the tires. The ultimate result
can assume the form of a sudden blow-out.<
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.
Determining loading limit
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.

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.<
When vehicle is parked
Condensation forms in the air conditioner sys-
tem during operation, and then exits under the
vehicle. Traces of condensed water under the
vehicle are therefore normal.
Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
Before driving into a car wash
Fold in the exterior mirrors, refer to page 53,
otherwise they could be damaged due to the
width of the vehicle.

Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX lbs. or YYY kg.
The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount equals

The rear window wiper can be damaged in car
washes. Take appropriate protective measures;
ask the car wash operator if necessary.

lbs. minus 750 lbs. = 650 lbs.

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.
Automatic and sport automatic
transmission
Follow the instructions on page 61 so that the
vehicle can roll.
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.
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
