Take notice of the following information about storage precautions, cargo capacity and load:
Capacity and distribution
Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (total load capacity) ƒ{ (total weight of occupants)
Steps for determining correct load limit „o
For example, if the ¢§xxx¢¸ amount equals 1400 lbs. And there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 ƒ{ 750 (5ƒN„eƒn150) = 650 lbs.)
Calculation formula for your vehicle
When 2 people with the combined weight of a lb. (Kg) are riding in your vehicle, which has a total load capacity (vehicle capacity weight) of b lb. (Kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be c lb. (Kg) as follows:
B*2 lb. (Kg) ƒ{ a*1 lb. (Kg) = c*3 lb. (Kg)
*1: A = weight of people
*2: B = total load capacity
*3: C = available cargo and luggage load
In this condition, if 3 more passengers with the combined weight of d lb. (Kg) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced e lb. (Kg) as follows: c lb. (Kg) ƒ{ d*4 lb. (Kg) = e*5 lb. (Kg)
*4: D = additional weight of people
*5: E = available cargo and luggage load
As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount that equals the increased weight due to the additional occupants. In other words, if an increase in the number of occupants causes an excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.
Caution

The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compartment:
