Steps
for Determining Correct Load
Limit:
Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicl e.
The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity.
Subtract
the combined weight of
the driver and passengers from
850 lbs.
Locate
the statement, ‘‘the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 850
lbs’’ on your vehicle’s placard.
(The placard is on the driv er’s
doorjamb).
For example, if the maximum load
is 850 lbs and there will be five 150
lb. passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and luggage
load capaci ty is 100 lbs.
(850 750 (5 150) = 100 lbs.)
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
calc ulated in step 4.
Ifyourvehiclewillbetowinga
trailer, load from your trailer will
be tran sferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity of
yourvehicle(seepage ).
The maximum load f or your vehicle
is 850 lbs (385 kg) f or U.S. vehicles,
and 395 kg for Canadian vehicles.
This f igure includes the total weight
of all occupants, cargo, and
accessories, and the tongue load if
you are towing a trailer.
