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.
