passengers and luggage or oth-
er things that you plan to trans-
port so that you can make sure
that your vehicle will not be
overloaded.
Steps for Determining
Correct Load Limit
1.
Locate the statement "THE
COMBINED WEIGHT OF OC-
CUPANTS AND CARGO
SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX
KG OR XXX LBS"on your vehi-
cle's placard (tire inflation
pressure label)

2. Determine the combined
weight of the driver and pas-
sengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and pas-
sengers from
"XXX"
kilo-
grams or
"XXX"
pounds
shown on the sticker

185 .
4. The resulting figure equals
the available amount of car-
go and luggage load capaci-
ty. For example, if the
"XXX"
amount equals 1400 lbs.
and there will be five 150
lbs. passengers in your vehi-
cle, the amount of available
Tires and wheels

cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity is 650 lbs. (1400-7
so
(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 trail-
er will be transferred to your
vehicle . Consult this manual
to determine how this re-
duces the available cargo
and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle .
