pillar (B-pillar). With the driver
door open, you will find the label
attached near the door lock
post. The Tyre and Loading
Information label shows the
number of occupant seating
positions (1), and the maximum
vehicle capacity weight (2) in
kilogrammes and pounds.
The Tyre and Loading
Information label also shows the
tyre size of the original
equipment tyres (3) and the
recommended cold tyre inflation
pressures (4). For more
information on tyres and inflation
see Tyres on page 10-41 and
Tyre Pressure on page 10-43.
There is also important loading
information on the Certification
label. It tells you the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
and the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for the front and
rear axle. See Certification
Label later in this section.
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
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
Driving and Operating
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, 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.

towing a trailer, towing safety
rules and trailering tips.
