Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit - Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2019 User Manual

(if applicable) 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 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, 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 purposes only and may not
be accurate for the seating and load
carry capacity of your vehicle.
For the following example, the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 865 lbs
(392 kg).
