plus maximum load. The maxi
mum load includes the number of
passengers that the vehicle is in
tended to carry ("seating capaci
ty") with an assumed weight of 150 lbs (68 kg) for each passen
ger at a designated seating posi
tion and the total weight of any luggage in the vehicle.
The
Gross Axle Weight Rating
("GAWR") is the maximum load
that can be applied at each of the
vehicle's two axles.
The fact that there is an upper limit to your vehicle's Gross Vehi
cle Weight Rating means that the
total weight of whatever is being
carried in the vehicle is limited.
The more passengers in the vehi cle or passengers who are heavier
than the standard weights as
sumed mean that less weight can
be carried as luggage.
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and the Gross Axle Weight Rating
are listed on the safety compli
ance sticker label located on the
driver's side B-pillar
c::> page 265,
fig. 198.
A WARNING
Overloading a vehicle can cause
loss of vehicle control, a crash
268
or other accident, serious per
sonal injury, and even death.
-Carrying more weight than your vehicle was designed to carry will prevent the vehicle
from handling properly and
increase the risk of the loss of
vehicle control.
-The brakes on a vehicle that has been overloaded may not
be able to stop the vehicle
within a safe distance.
-Tires on a vehicle that has been overloaded can fail sud
denly, including a blowout and
sudden deflation, causing loss
of control and a crash.
-Always make sure that the to
tal load being transported does not make the vehicle
heavier than the vehicle's
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
Determining correct load
limit
Use the example below to calcu
late the total weight of the pas
sengers and luggage or other
things that you plan to transport
so that you can make sure that
your vehicle will not be overload- ed . ..

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
1 . Locate the stat em ent "THE
COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCU PANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR X XX
LBS "on your vehi cle 's pla card
(tire inflation pr essure l abel)
¢ pag e 265 , fig. 198.
2 . Determine the combined
weight of the dri ver and pa s
sengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
3. Subtract the comb ined weight
of the driver and passengers
from
" XXX " kilograms or "XXX "
pounds shown on the sticker
¢ page 265, fig. 198 .
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load ca pac ity. For ex
ample, if the
"X XX" amount
equals 1400 lbs and there w ill
be five 150 lbs passengers in
your vehicle , the amount of
available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lb s
(1400- 750 (5
X 150) = 650 lbs)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
