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

weigh 220 lb. (99 kg), the calculation would be: 1400 - (2 x 220) - (12

x 100) = 1400 - 440 - 1200 = - 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:

1400 - (2 x 220) - (9 x 100) = 1400 - 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.

Special loading instructions for owners of pick-up trucks and

utility-type vehicles

WARNING: For important information regarding safe operation

of this type of vehicle, see the Preparing to drive your vehicle

section in the Driving chapter of this owner’s guide.

WARNING: Loaded vehicles may handle differently than

unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as slower speeds and

increased stopping distance, should be taken when driving a heavily

loaded vehicle.

Your vehicle can haul more cargo and people than most passenger cars.

Depending upon the type and placement of the load, hauling cargo and

people may raise the center of gravity of the vehicle.

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.
