To determine the maximum loading conditions of
your vehicle, locate the statement "The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs" on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion placard. The combined weight of occupants,
cargo/luggage and trailer tongue weight (if appli-
cable) should never exceed the weight referenced
here.
Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit—
(1) Locate the statement "The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should never
exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs. " on your vehicle's
placard.
(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 kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if "XXX" amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb
passengers in your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs. (1400-750 (5x150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight of lug-
gage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely exceed the avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity calcu-
lated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load
from your trailer will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
Metric Example For Load Limit
For example, if "XXX" amount equals 635 kg and
there will be five 68 kg passengers in your vehicle,
the amount of available cargo and luggage load
capacity is 295 kg (635-340 (5x68) = 295 kg) as
shown in step 4.
NOTE:
If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your
trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.The following
table shows examples on how to calculate total load,
cargo/luggage, and towing capacities of your vehicle
with varying seating configurations and number and
size of occupants. This table is for illustration pur-
poses only and may not be accurate for the seating
and load carry capacity of your vehicle.
