positions (1), and the maximum vehicle
capacity weight (2) in kilograms and
pounds.
The Tire and Loading Information label
also shows the size of the original
equipment tires (3) and the
recommended cold tire inflation
pressures (4). For more information on
tires and inflation see Tires 0 339 and
Tire Pressure 0 344.
There is also important loading
information on the vehicle Certification/
Tire label. It may show the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
the front and rear axles. See
Certification/Tire Label later in this
section.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
Locate the statement "The combined
1.
weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX kg or
XXX lbs." on your vehicle s placard.
Determine the combined weight of
2.
the driver and passengers that will
be riding in your vehicle.
Subtract the combined weight of the
3.
driver and passengers from XXX kg
or XXX lbs.
The resulting figure equals the
4.
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For example,
if the "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 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
Determine the combined weight of
5.
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.
Driving and Operating
If your vehicle will be towing a
6.
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.
See Trailer Towing 0 274 for important
information on towing a trailer, towing
safety rules, and trailering tips.
If aftermarket accessories are installed on
the vehicle, for example a rooftop carrier, be
sure to add the weight of all installed
accessories to the combined weight of
luggage and cargo.
