Determining correct load
limit
Use the example below to calcu-
late
the total weight of the pas-
sengers and luggage or other
things
that you plan
to transport
so
that
you can make sure that
your vehicle will not be overload-
ed.
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit
1. Locate the statement "THE
COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCU-
PANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR XXX
LBS"on
your vehicle's placard
(tire inflation pressure
label)
¢page
219,
fig. 181.
2. Determine the combined
weight of the driver and pas-
sengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight
of the driver and passengers
from
"XXX"
kilograms or
"XXX"
pounds shown on the sticker
¢page
219,
fig. 181.
4.
The
resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load
capacity. For ex-
ample, if the
"XXX"
amount
equals 1400 lbs. and there will
Wheels
be five 1 SO
lbs.
passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400-750 (5
X
150)
=
650
lbs.)
5.
Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not
safely
ex-
ceed
the available cargo and
luggage
load capacity calculat-
ed in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer,
load
from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehi-
cle.
Consult this manual to de-
termine how this reduces the
available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.

load
rating
for a specific tire.
