Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit
Locate the statement "The com-
1.
bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX
kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's
placard.
6
Determine the combined weight
2.
of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
Subtract the combined weight of
3.
the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
The resulting figure equals the
4.
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For exam-
ple, if the "XXX" amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five
150 lbs. passengers in your vehi-
cle, the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650
lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650
lbs.)
6-8 Driving safety
Determine the combined weight
5.
of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may
N00630201277
not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
If your vehicle will be towing a
6.
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.
NOTE
The above steps for determining

correct load limit were written in
accordance with U.S.A. regula-
tions.
Your vehicle cannot tow a
trailer, so step 6 is irrelevant.
