Driving and Operating

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, 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 of

your vehicle.

This vehicle is neither designed

nor intended to tow a trailer.

Example 1

A.

Vehicle Capacity Weight for
Example 1 = 453 kg

(1,000 lbs).

B.

Subtract Occupant Weight
@ 68 kg (150 lbs) × 2 =
136 kg (300 lbs).

C.

Available Occupant and
Cargo Weight = 317 kg

(700 lbs).
