Load Limits
The maximum load for your vehicle
is 400 lbs (185 kg). This figure
includes the total weight of all
occupants, cargo, and accessories.
Overloading or improper
loading can affect handling and
stability and cause a crash in
which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other
loading guidelines in this
manual.
Steps for determining correct load
limit:
1. Locate the statement, ''the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 400
lbs'' on your vehicle's placard.
(The placard is on the driver's
doorjamb.)
2. Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passenger that
will be riding in your vehicle.
Subtract the combined weight of
3.
the driver and passenger from 400
lbs.
Carrying Cargo
The resulting figure equals the
4.
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For
example, if the maximum load is
400 lbs and there will be two 150 lb.
passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 100 lbs.
2 × 150 lbs = 300 lbs
400 lbs − 300 lbs = 100 lbs
5. Determine the combined weight
of luggage and cargo being loaded
in the vehicle. That weight may
not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity in
step 4.
In addition, the total weight of the
vehicle, all passengers, accessories,
and cargo must not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR). Both are on a label on the
driver's doorjamb.
