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 “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

(5x150) = 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.

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).
