Insert the remote control into the ignition 
switch.
The engine can be switched off when the trans-
mission is in position N. Refer also to page

To avoid loading the tires beyond their 
approved carrying capacity, never over-

load the vehicle. Overloading can lead to over-
heating and increases the rate at which damage 
develops inside the tires. This can ultimately 
result in a sudden blowout.

<

Make sure that no liquids are spilled or 
leak from their containers in the cargo 

area, as this could result in damage to the 
vehicle.

<

Always position and secure the cargo as 
described so that it cannot endanger the 

car's occupants, for example if sudden braking 
or swerving is necessary.
Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle 
weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer 
to page

, as excessive loads can pose a 

safety hazard, and may also place you in viola-
tion of traffic safety laws.
Heavy or hard objects should not be carried 
loose inside the car, since they could be thrown 
around, for example as a result of heavy braking, 
sudden swerves, etc., and endanger the occu-
pants.

1.

Locate the following statement on your 
vehicle's placard

:

The combined weight of occupants 
and cargo should never exceed 

XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, overloading 
can result in damage to the vehicle and 
unstable driving conditions.

<

2.

Determine the combined weight of the 
driver and passengers that will be riding in 
your vehicle.

3.

Subtract the combined weight of the driver 
and passengers from XXX kilograms or YYY 
pounds.

4.

The resulting figure equals the available 
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. 
For example, if the YYY amount equals 
1,400 lbs and there will be five 150 lbs 
passengers in your vehicle, the amount of 
available cargo and luggage load capacity 
is 650 lbs: 
1,400 lbs minus 750 lbs = 650 lbs

5.

Determine the combined weight of luggage 
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That 
weight may not safely exceed the available 
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated 
in step 4.

6.

If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of 
the load from your trailer will be transferred 
to your vehicle. Consult the manual for 
transporting a trailer to determine how this 
may reduce the available cargo and luggage 
load capacity of your vehicle.
