Load Limits (Payload)
The maximum load for your vehicle
is:
On vehicles without moonroof
1,530 lbs (690 kg)
On vehicles with moonroof
1,480 lbs (670 kg)
These figures include the total
weight of all occupants, cargo, and
accessories, and the tongue load if
you are towing a trailer.
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.
To determine the correct cargo and
luggage load limit:
1. Locate the statement, ''the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 1,530
(1,480) lbs'' on your vehicle's
placard. [The placard is on the
driver's doorjamb.]
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
1,530 (1,480) pounds.
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For
example, if the maximum load is
1,530 lbs and there will be five 150
lb. passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 780 lbs.
[1,530 750 (5 150) = 780 lbs.]
Carrying Cargo
Determine the combined weight
5.
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.
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 (see page
In addition, the total weight of the
vehicle, all occupants, accessories,
cargo, and trailer tongue load
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.
