information label shows the number of
occupant seating positions (1), and the
maximum vehicle capacity weight (2) in

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.)

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 available
cargo and luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.

information on towing a trailer, towing
safety rules and trailering tips.

Example 1

1. Vehicle Capacity Weight for Example 1

= 453 kg (1,000 lbs).

2. Subtract Occupant Weight @ 68 kg

(150 lbs) × 2 = 136 kg (300 lbs).

3. Available Occupant and Cargo Weight

= 317 kg (700 lbs).
