to transport the cement to your home? If you and your friend each

weigh 220 lb. (99 kg), the calculation would be: 1,400 - (2 x 220) -

(12 x 100) = 1,400 - 440 - 1,200 = - 240 lb. No, you do not have

enough cargo capacity to carry that much weight. In metric units, the

calculation would be: 635 kg - (2 x 99 kg) - (12 x 45 kg) = 635 - 198 -

540 = -103 kg. You will need to reduce the load weight by at least

240 lb. (104 kg). If you remove 3-100 lb. (45 kg) cement bags, then

the load calculation would be:

1,400 - (2 x 220) - (9 x 100) = 1,400 - 440 - 900 = 60 lb. Now you

have the load capacity to transport the cement and your friend home.

In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg - (2 x 99 kg) - (9 x

45 kg) = 635 - 198 - 405 = 32 kg.

The above calculations also assume that the loads are positioned in your

vehicle in a manner that does not overload the Front or the Rear Gross

Axle Weight Rating specified for your vehicle on the Safety Compliance

Certification Label found on the edge of the driver’s door.

TRAILER TOWING

Trailer towing with your vehicle may require the use of a trailer tow

option package.

Trailer towing puts additional loads on your vehicle’s engine,

transmission, axle, brakes, tires, and suspension. For your safety and to

maximize vehicle performance, be sure to use the proper equipment

while towing.

When towing maximum loads under high outside temperatures and on

steep grades, the A/C system may cycle on and off to protect the engine

from overheating. This may result in a temporary increase of interior

temperatures.

Follow these guidelines to ensure safe towing procedure:

• Stay within your vehicle’s load limits.

• Thoroughly prepare your vehicle for towing. Refer to Preparing to

tow in this chapter.

• Use extra caution when driving while trailer towing. Refer to Driving

while you tow in this chapter.

• Service your vehicle more frequently if you tow a trailer. Refer to the

severe duty schedule in the scheduled maintenance guide.

• Do not tow a trailer until your vehicle has been driven at least

1,000 miles (1,600 km).

• Refer to the instructions included with towing accessories for the

proper installation and adjustment specifications.
