Vehicle Load Limits

It is very important to know how much
weight the vehicle can carry. This weight is
called the vehicle capacity weight and
includes the weight of all occupants, cargo,
and all nonfactory-installed options.

Two labels on the vehicle may show how
much weight it may properly carry, the Tire
and Loading Information label and the
Certification/Tire label.

{

Warning

Do not load the vehicle any heavier
than the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR), or either the maximum
front or rear Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). This can cause
systems to break and change the
way the vehicle handles. This could
cause loss of control and a crash.
Overloading can also reduce stopping
performance, damage the tires, and
shorten the life of the vehicle.

Tire and Loading Information Label

Example Label

A vehicle-specific Tire and Loading
Information label is attached to the center
pillar (B-pillar). The tire and loading
information label shows the number of
occupant seating positions (1), and the
maximum vehicle capacity weight (2) in
kilograms and pounds.

The Tire and Loading Information label also
shows the size of the original equipment
tires (3) and the recommended cold tire
inflation pressures (4). For more information
on tires and inflation see

.

There is also important loading information
on the vehicle Certification/Tire 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/Tire Label

later in this section.

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.

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 kg or
XXX lbs.

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 lb passengers in your vehicle,
the amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
