Steps for Determining the Correct Load Limit

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 

fi

gure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load

capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be

fi

ve 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 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.
