Step 1: Locate the statement "The com-
X
bined weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on
your vehicle's Tire and Loading Information
placard.
Step 2: Determine the combined weight of
X
the driver and passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.
Step 3: Subtract the combined weight of
X
the driver and passengers from XXX kilo-
grams or XXX lbs.
Step 4: The resulting figure equals the
X
available amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity. For example, if the "XXX" amount
equals 1400 lbs and there will be five 150
lbs passengers in your vehicle, the amount
of available cargo and luggage load capa-
city is 650 lbs (1 400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650
lbs).
Step 5: Determine the combined weight of
X
luggage and cargo being loaded on the
vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed
the available cargo and luggage load capa-
city calculated in step 4.
Step 6 (if applicable): If your vehicle will
X
be towing a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehicle. Refer to
this Operator's Manual to determine how
this reduces the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle
( page 316).
