of vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. ●
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a seat belt properly.
TERMS It is important to familiarize yourself
with the following terms before loading

standard and optional equipment, flu-
ids, emergency tools, and spare tire
assembly. This weight does not include
passengers and cargo.VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION

●
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb
weight plus the combined weight of
passengers and cargo.●
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) -
maximum total combined weight of
the unloaded vehicle, passengers,
luggage, hitch, trailer tongue load
and any other optional equipment.
This information is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.●
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) -
maximum weight (load) limit specified
for the front or rear axle. This infor-
mation is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.●
GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rat-
ing) - The maximum total weight rat-
ing of the vehicle, passengers, cargo,
and trailer.●
Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit,
Total load capacity - maximum total
weight limit specified of the load
(passengers and cargo) for the ve-
hicle. This is the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo that
can be loaded into the vehicle. If the
vehicle is used to tow a trailer, the
trailer tongue weight must be in-
cluded as part of the cargo load. This
information is located on the Tire and
Loading Information label. ●
Cargo capacity - permissible weight of
cargo, the weight of total occupants
weight subtracted from the load limit.

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY Do not exceed the load limit of your
vehicle shown as “The combined weight
of occupants and cargo” on the Tire and
Loading Information label. Do not ex-
ceed the number of occupants shown as
“Seating Capacity” on the Tire and Load-
ing Information label.
To get “the combined weight of occu-
pants and cargo”, add the weight of all occupants, then add the total luggage
weight. Examples are shown in the illus-
tration.
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 avail-
able 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 x 150) = 650
lbs or 640  340 (5 x 70) = 300 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 trans-
ferred to your vehicle. Consult this
manual to determine how this re-
duces the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle. STI0365
