the available amount of cargo

the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity
is 650 lbs (1400 750
(5 x 150) = 650 lbs).
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.
If your vehicle will be towing

a trailer, the 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
for your vehicle.
See Trailer Towing on page 9 52
for important information on
