Toyota Corolla: Cargo and luggage / Calculation formula for your vehicle

A - Cargo capacity<> B - Total load capacity (vehicle capacity weight)
When 2 people with the combined weight of A lb. (kg) are riding in your vehicle,
which has a total load capacity (vehicle capacity weight) of B lb. (kg), the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be C lb. (kg) as follows:
B*2 lb. (kg) - A*1 lb. (kg) = C*3 lb. (kg)
In this condition, if 3 more passengers with the combined weight of D lb. (kg)
get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced E lb. (kg) as follows:
C lb. (kg) - D*4 lb. (kg) = E*5 lb. (kg)
As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo
and luggage load will be reduced by an amount that equals the increased weight due
to the additional occupants. In other words, if an increase in the number of occupants
causes an excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo
and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.
WARNING
■Things that must not be carried in the trunk
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the trunk:
- Receptacles containing gasoline
- Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the pedals
from being depressed properly, may block the driver’s vision, or may result in items
hitting the driver or passengers, possibly causing an accident.
- Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk whenever possible.
- To prevent cargo and luggage from sliding forward during braking, do
not stack anything in the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo and luggage low, as close
to the floor as possible.
- When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed directly
behind the front seats.
- Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations.
- • At the feet of the driver
- • On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
- • On the package tray
- • On the instrument panel
- • On the dashboard
- Secure all items in the occupant compartment.
- Never allow anyone to ride in the enlarged trunk. It is not designed
for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly
fastened.
■Capacity and distribution
- Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle weight
rating.
- Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less
than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper loading
may cause deterioration of steering or braking control which may cause death
or serious injury.
