Steps
for Determining
Correct
Load Limit
1. Locate the statement "THE COMBINED
WEIGHT OF OCCUPANTS AND CARGO
SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR XXX
LBS"on your vehicle's placard (tire infla-
tion pressure label)::::} page 211, fig. 124.
2. Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from "XXX" kilo-
grams or "XXX" pounds shown on the
sticker ::::} page 211, fig. 124.
4. The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity. For example, if the "XXX"
amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will
be five 150 lbs. passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400-750 (5x 150)
=
650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of
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.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,
load from your trailer will be transferred
to your vehicle. Consult this manual to
determine
how this reduces the avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle.
- Check the tire sidewall( ::::} page 218,
fig. 127) to determine the designated
load rating for a specific tire. •
