Steps for Determining theCorrect Load Limit
▼Steps for Determining the Correct
Load Limit
Steps for Determin
ing 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 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 × 150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the c ombined 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 det ermine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
