Driving your vehicle
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit -
(1) Locate the statement "The
combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX lbs or XXX kg.'' on your vehi -
cle's placard.
(2) Determine the combined
weight of the driver and passen -
gers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight
of the driver and passengers
from XXX lbs or XXX kg.
(4) The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity. For
example, if the "XXX" amount
equals 635 kg (1400 lbs.) and
there will be five 68 kg (150 lbs.)
passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 295 kg
(650 lbs.). (635-340 (5 x 68) =
295 kg or 1400-750 (5 x 150) =
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.

how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
