Corrosion on brake rotors

When the vehicle is driven only occasionally,

during extended periods when the vehicle is not

used at all, and in operating conditions where

brake applications are less frequent, there is an

increased tendency for corrosion to form on

rotors, while contaminants accumulate on the

brake pads. This occurs because the minimum

pressure which must be exerted by the pads

during brake applications to clean the rotors is

not reached.

Should corrosion form on the brake rotors, the

brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating

effect that even extended application will fail to

cure.

When the vehicle is parked

Condensation forms while the automatic cli-

mate control is in operation, and then exits

under the vehicle. Traces of condensed water

under the vehicle are therefore normal.

Cargo loading

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. In some situations,

this can result in sudden loss of tire pressure.<

Make sure that no liquids are spilled or

leak from their containers in the cargo

area, as this could result in damage to the vehi-

cle.<

Determining loading limit

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-lb. pas-

sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail-

able 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.
