Vehicle Loading Limit
Tire and Loading Information Label




The label located on the driver's door pillar shows the original tire size, the recommended cold tire inflation pressure for your vehicle, the number of people that can be in your vehicle, and the vehicle's load capacity.
Vehicle weight: 385 kg (849 lb)
Vehicle load capacity is the maximum combined weight of passengers and cargo. If your vehicle is equipped with a trailer, the total weight includes the trailer tongue load.
Number of seating positions:
Total: 5 persons (front seat: 2 persons, rear seat: 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum number of passengers, including the driver, that your vehicle can carry.
However, the number of seating positions may be reduced depending on the weight of all passengers and the weight of the cargo or trailer being towed.
Do not overload the vehicle, as there is a limit to the total weight or load, including passengers and cargo, that the vehicle can carry.
Towing Capacity:
We do not recommend using this vehicle to tow a trailer.
Cargo Capacity:
The load capacity of your vehicle will increase or decrease depending on the weight and number of passengers.
Steps to Determine the Correct Load Limit
1. Find the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs" on your vehicle's certification label.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers who will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure is the available amount of cargo and luggage capacity. For example, if the "XXX" figure is 635 kg (1400 lbs) and there will be five passengers in your vehicle weighing 68 kg (150 lbs) each, the available cargo and luggage capacity is 295 kg (650 lbs).
(635 - 340 (5 x 68) = 295 kg or 1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the total weight of luggage and cargo to be loaded into the vehicle. This weight must not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage capacity calculated in step 4.
6. If your vehicle will tow a trailer, the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Refer to this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage capacity of your vehicle.



For specific information, refer to the tire and loading information label on your vehicle regarding the load capacity of your vehicle and seating positions. The combined weight of the driver, passengers, and cargo must never exceed the vehicle's load capacity.
