Total load capacity (vehicle

capacity weight) (P. 832)
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:
2
*
B lb. (kg) — A
* 1
: A = Weight of people
* 2
: B = Total load capacity
* 3
: C = Available cargo and luggage load
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
: D = Additional weight of people
* 5
: E = Available cargo and luggage load
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.
