Cargo or a trailer can change the stability
and handling of a vehicle.
You must use common sense and good
judgment when carrying cargo or towing a
trailer. Keep the following points in mind:
● Never exceed the weight limits shown.
An overloaded vehicle can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
● Vehicle loading limit (total weight of
cargo, operator, passenger and
accessories, and tongue weight):
370 Kg (814 lb)
● Cargo bed:150Kg (330 lb)
● Trailer hitch:
Pulling load (total weight of trailer
and cargo):552Kgf (1,214lbf)
Tongue weight (vertical weight on
trailer hitch point):50Kgf (110lbf)
● Choose a trailer hitch drawbar designed
for use with a 5 cm (2in) receiver.(See
page 4-25 for more information)
● Do not exceed the maximum tongue
weight. You can measure tongue weight
with a bathroom scale. Put the tongue of
the loaded trailer on the scale with the
tongue at hitch height. Adjust the load in
the trailer, if necessary, to reduce the
weight on hitch. If you are carrying cargo
and towing a trailer, include the tongue
weight in the maximum vehicle load limit.
● Load cargo in the cargo bed as close to
the center of the vehicle as possible and
tie it down using the cargo hooks
equipped on the cargo bed.
● Tie down cargo securely in the trailer.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot
move around. A shifting load can cause
