WARNING: Exceeding any vehicle weight rating limitation

could result in serious damage to the vehicle and/or personal

injury.

Steps for determining the 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

1,400 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 lb.). In metric units (635–340 (5 x 68) =

295 kg.)

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.

The following gives you a few examples on how to calculate the available

amount of cargo and luggage load capacity:

Another example for your vehicle with 1400 lb. (635 kg) of cargo and

luggage capacity. You decide to go golfing. Is there enough load

capacity to carry you, 4 of your friends and all the golf bags? You and

four friends average 220 lb. (99 kg) each and the golf bags weigh

approximately 30 lb. (13.5 kg) each. The calculation would be: 1400 –

(5 x 220) – (5 x 30) = 1400 – 1100 – 150 = 150 lb. Yes, you have

enough load capacity in your vehicle to transport four friends and

your golf bags. In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg — (5

x 99 kg) — (5 x 13.5 kg) = 635 — 495 — 67.5 = 72.5 kg.

A final example for your vehicle with 1400 lb. (635 kg) of cargo and

luggage capacity. You and one of your friends decide to pick up

cement from the local home improvement store to finish that patio
