There is also important loading
information on the Certification
label. It tells you the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
and the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for the front and
rear axle. See

Certification

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, 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.
