label. It tells you the Gross

Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit
Locate the statement The
1.
combined weight of
occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or
XXX lbs on your vehicle's
and
placard.
.
Determine the combined
2.
weight of the driver and
passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.
Subtract the combined
3.
weight of the driver and
passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs.
Driving and Operating
The resulting figure equals
4.
the 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
= 650 lbs).
Determine the combined
5.
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.
