Vehicle Loading

This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle, to
keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating capability.
Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of vehicle
design performance. Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself
with the following terms for determining your vehicle's weight ratings,
from the vehicle's Safety Certification Label and Tire and Load Infor-
mation Label:
Base Curb Weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of
fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers,
cargo, or optional equipment.
Vehicle Curb Weight is the weight of your new vehicle when you
picked it up from your dealer plus any aftermarket equipment.

PAYLOAD
Payload is the combination weight of cargo and passengers that the
vehicle is designed to carry. The maximum payload for your vehicle
can be found on the Tire and Load Information label on the driver's
door frame or door pillar. Look for "THE COMBINATION WEIGHT OF
OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX kg or
XXX lb." for your maximum payload. The payload listed on the tire
label is the maximum payload for the vehicle as built by the assembly
plant. If any aftermarket or dealer installed equipment has been
installed on the vehicle, the weight of the equipment must be sub-
tracted from the payload listed on the tire label in order to be accurate.
