Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passenger from XXX kilograms or
YYY pounds.
Condensation forms while the air conditioning
or automatic climate control is in operation, and
then exits under the vehicle. Traces of con-
densed water on the ground underneath the
vehicle are thus normal.
The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the YYY amount equals
551
lbs and there will be two 150 lbs occu-

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
Avoid overloading the vehicle so that the
permissible carrying capacity of the tires
is not exceeded. Otherwise, overheating and
inner damage to the tires may result. The ulti-
mate result can assume the form of a sudden air
loss.<
Load
Make sure that no liquids are spilled or
leak from their containers in the cargo
bay, as this could result in damage to the vehi-
cle.<
Determining the maximum load
The permissible load is the sum of the occu-
pants' weights and the weight of the cargo. The
greater the weight of the occupants, the less
cargo can be transported.

Locate the following statement on your
vehicle's placard*:

and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, overloading
can result in damage to the vehicle and
unstable driving conditions.<

ble, directly behind the cargo bay partition,
and as low as possible.
Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passenger that will be riding in
your vehicle.
