Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
The following steps have been developed as
required of all manufacturers under Title 49,
Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575 pur‐
suant to the "National Traffic and Motor Vehicle
Safety Act of 1966".
for cold Step 1: Locate the statement "The combined
#
weight of occupants and cargo should never
exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's
placard.
Step 2: Determine the combined weight of
#
the driver and passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.
Step 3: Subtract the combined weight of the
#
driver and passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs.
Step 4: The resulting figure equals the avail‐
#
able amount of cargo and luggage load capa‐
city. For example, if the "XXX" amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb pas‐
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa‐
ble cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
Step 5: Determine the combined weight of
#
luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehi‐
cle. That weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.
Step 6: If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,

load from your trailer will be transferred to
