be C lb. (kg) as follows:
*2
B lb. (kg) - A
(kg)
*1
: A =Weight of people
*2
: B =Total load capacity
*3
: C =Available cargo and luggage
load
In this condition, if 3 more passen-
gers with the combined weight of D
lb. (kg) get on, the available cargo
and luggage load will be reduced E
lb. (kg) as follows:
*4
C lb. (kg) - D
(kg)
*4
: D =Additional weight of people
*5
: E =Available cargo and luggage
load
As shown in the example above,
if the number of occupants
increases, the cargo and lug-
gage load will be reduced by an
amount that equals the
increased weight due to the
additional occupants. In other
words, if an increase in the num-
ber of occupants causes an
excess of the total load capacity
(combined weight of occupants
plus cargo and luggage load),
you must reduce the cargo and
luggage on your vehicle.
