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) -

(9x45kg)=635-198-405=32kg.

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

Your vehicle is capable of towing a trailer up to 1,000 lb. (454 kg) gross

trailer weight with a maximum tongue load of 100 lb. (45 kg). Do not

tow a trailer until your vehicle has been driven at least 500 miles

(800 km).

Towing a trailer places an additional load on your vehicle’s engine,

transmission, brakes, tires and suspension. Inspect these components

carefully after towing.

Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the

certification label.

Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer

weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in

engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of vehicle

control, vehicle rollover and personal injury.

Preparing to tow

Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is

properly attached to your vehicle. See your authorized dealer or a

reliable trailer dealer if you require assistance.

Hitches

Do not use hitches that clamp onto the vehicle bumper. Use a load

carrying hitch. You must distribute the load in your trailer so that

10–15% of the total weight of the trailer is on the tongue.
