Example 1B
For example, if a person weighing 176
lbs (80 kg) now enters the same vehi-
cle (bringing the number of occupants
to two), the calculations are as fol-
lows:
1. Calculate the total weight.
Total weight
= 154 lbs (70 kg) + 176 lbs (80 kg)
(Occupant)
+ 882 lbs (400 kg)
(Cargo)
= 1,212 lbs (550 kg)
2. Calculate the available load capac-
ity.
Available Load Capacity
= 1,157 lbs
(525 kg)
(Vehicle
capacity weight)
= –55 lbs (–25 kg)
3. The total weight now exceeds the
D00102
capacity weight by 55 lbs (25 kg), so
the cargo weight must be reduced by
55 lbs (25 kg) or more.
Example 2A
Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
Vehicle capacity weight of the vehicle
is 1,157 lbs (525 kg), which is indicat-
ed on the vehicle placard with the
statement "The combined weight of
occupants and cargo should never
– 1,212 lbs
exceed 525 kg or 1,157 lbs".
(550 kg)
For example, the vehicle has one oc-
(Total weight)
cupant weighing 165 lbs (75 kg) plus
cargo weighing 705 lbs (320 kg). In
addition, the vehicle is fitted with a
trailer hitch weighing 22 lbs (10 kg), to
which is attached a trailer weighing
1,764 lbs (800 kg). 10% of the trailer
weight is applied to the trailer tongue
(i.e. Tongue load = 176 lbs (80 kg)).
1. Calculate the total weight.
Total weight
= 165 lbs (75 kg) + 705 lbs (320 kg)
+ 22 lbs (10 kg) + 176 lbs (80 kg)
= 1,069 lbs (485 kg)
2. Calculate the available load capac-
