9-24 Driving and Operating
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit
Locate the statement
1.
The combined weight of
occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or
XXX lbs on your vehicle's
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.
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 750 (5 x 150) =
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.
If your vehicle will be towing
6.
a trailer, the 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 on
page 9 64 for important
information on towing a
trailer, towing safety, and
trailering tips.
