4-1. Before driving

Cargo capacity depends on the total 
weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capac-
ity) — (Total weight of occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct Load 
Limit —
(1) Locate the statement “The com-
bined 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 



 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 lug-

gage 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 lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle.

trailer with your vehicle. Your vehicle is not 
designed for trailer towing.

When 2 people with the combined 
weight of A lb. (kg) are riding in your 
vehicle, which has a total load capacity 
(vehicle capacity weight) of B lb. (kg), 
the available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity will be C lb. (kg) as 
follows:
