There is also important loading
information on the vehicle Certification
label. It may show the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for the
front and rear axle. See Certification
Label later in this section.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
Locate the statement "The combined
1.
weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX kg or
XXX lbs." on your vehicle s placard.
Determine the combined weight of
2.
the driver and passengers that will
be riding in your vehicle.
Subtract the combined weight of the
3.
driver and passengers from XXX kg
or XXX lbs.
The resulting figure equals the
4.
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For example,
if the "XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs.
and there will be five 150 lb
passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
Determine the combined weight of
5.
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calculated in
Step 4.
If your vehicle will be towing a
6.
trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.
This vehicle is neither designed nor
intended to tow a trailer.
