(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.

Metric Example For Load Limit
For example, if “XXX” amount equals 635 kg 

and there will be five 68 kg passengers in your 

vehicle, the amount of available cargo and 

luggage load capacity is 295 kg (635-340 

(5x68) = 295 kg) as shown in step 4.

NOTE:

If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load 

from your trailer will be transferred to your 

vehicle. The following table shows examples 

on how to calculate total load, cargo/

luggage, and towing capacities of your 

vehicle with varying seating configurations 

and number and size of occupants. This table 

is for illustration purposes only and may not 

be accurate for the seating and load carry 

capacity of your vehicle.

For the following example, the combined 

weight of occupants and cargo should never 

exceed 865 lbs (392 kg).

Tire Pressure 

Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the 

safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. 

Four primary areas are affected by improper tire 

pressure:

Safety

Fuel Economy

Tread Wear

Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability

Safety

WARNING!

Overloading of your tires is dangerous. 

Overloading can cause tire failure, affect 

vehicle handling, and increase your stopping 

distance. Use tires of the recommended load 

capacity for your vehicle. Never overload 

them.

WARNING!

Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and 

can cause collisions.

Underinflation increases tire flexing and 

can result in overheating and tire failure.

Overinflation reduces a tire's ability to 

cushion shock. Objects on the road and 

chuckholes can cause damage that result 

in tire failure.
