Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other ob‐
jects to protrude into the area of pedal move‐
ment and impair pedal operation.◀
Determining the load limit
Brake disc corrosion
Corrosion on the brake discs and contamination
on the brake pads are furthered by:
▷
▷
Low mileage.
Extended periods when the vehicle is not
used at all.
1.
Locate the following statement on your ve‐
hicle’s placard*:
▷
Infrequent use of the brakes.
Corrosion occurs when the minimum pressure
that must be exerted by the pads during brake
applications to clean the discs is not reached.
▷
The combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg or
YYY lbs. Otherwise, damage to the ve‐
hicleandunstabledrivingsituationsmay
result.
Should corrosion form on the brake discs, the
brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating ef‐
fect that generally cannot be corrected.

Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
Condensation under the parked vehicle
When using the automatic climate control, con‐
densation water develops that exits underneath
the vehicle.
Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX kilograms or YYY
pounds.
Therefore, traces of condensed water under the
vehicle are normal.
The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the YYY amount equals
Loading
1,400
lbs and there will be five 150 lbs pas‐
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail‐
able cargo and luggage load capacity is
Overloading the vehicle
650
lbs: 1,400 lbs minus 750 lbs = 650 lbs.
To avoid exceeding the approved carrying
capacity of the tires, never overload the vehicle.
Overloading can lead to overheating and in‐
creases the rate at which damage develops in‐
side the tires. This could result in a sudden loss
of tire inflation pressure.◀

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.
Secure heavy objects
If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load
from your trailer will be transfered to your
vehicle. Consult the manual for transporting
a trailer to determine how this may reduce
the available cargo and luggage load ca‐
pacity of your vehicle.
Never transport unsecured heavy or hard
objects in the passenger compartment, as they
could be thrown around and pose a safety haz‐
ard to the vehicle's occupants during abrupt
braking or evasive maneuvers.◀
No fluids in the trunk
Make sure that fluids do not leak into the
trunk; otherwise, the vehicle may be dam‐
aged.◀
