(1): Locate the statement "The combined
(1):
#
weight of occupants and cargo should never
exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's
placard.
(2): Determine the combined weight of the
(2):
#
driver and passengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
(3): Subtract the combined weight of the
(3):
#
driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4): The resulting gure equals the available

#
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the "XXX" amount equals
1,400 lbs. and there will be ve 150 lb pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa-
ble cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs. (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
(5): Determine the combined weight of lug-
(5):
#
gage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely exceed the availa-
ble cargo and luggage load capacity calcula-
ted in Step 4.
