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.

for Example 1 = 453 kg

136 kg (300 lbs).
