Vehicle Loading
This  section  will  guide  you  in  the  proper  loading  of  your  vehicle,  to
keep  your  loaded  vehicle  weight  within  its  design  rating  capabi lity.
Properly  loading  your  vehicle  w ill  provide  maximum  return  of  ve hicle
design  performance.  Before  load ing  your  vehicle,  familiarize  yourself
with the following terms for determining your vehicle’s weight  ratings,
from  the  vehicle’s  Safety  Certification  Label  and Tire  and  Load   Infor-
mation Label:
Base  Curb  Weight  is  the  weight  of  the  vehicle  including  a  full  tank  of
fuel  and  all  standard  equipment.  It  does  not  include  passengers,
cargo, or optional equipment.
Vehicle  Curb  Weight  is  the  weight  of  your  new  vehicle  when  you
picked it up from your dealer p lus any aftermarket equipment.
Payload  is  the  combination  weight   of  cargo  and  passengers  that the
vehicle  is  designed  to  carry.  The  maximum  payload  for  your  vehicle
can  be  found  on  the  Tire  and  Load  Information  label  on  the  driv er’s
door frame or door pillar. Look for  “THE COMBINATION WEIGHT OF
OCCUPANTS AND  CARGO  SHOULD  NEVER  EXCEED  XXX  kg  or
XXX  lb.”  for  your  maximum  payload.  The  payload  listed  on  the  ti re
label is the maximum payload for  the vehicle as built by the assembly
plant.  If  any  aftermarket  or  dealer  installed  equipment  has  bee n
installed  on  the  vehicle,  the  we ight  of  the  equipment  must  be  s ub-
tracted from the payload listed on the tire label in order to b e accurate.

Cargo  Weight  includes  all  weight  added  to  the  Base  Curb  Weight,
including cargo and optional equipment.
The cargo weight lim it decreases depending on the number of veh icle
occupants. The cargo weight limit can be calculated by subtract ing the
total weight of the  vehicle occ upants from the  “combination wei ght of
occupants and cargo s hould never exceed” value on the tire labe l.

7-7. Tire Information (U.S.A.)
Examples: Based on a single occupant weight of 150 lb. (68 kg), and
a  value  of  849  lb.  (385  kg)  for  the  “combination  weight  of  occu pants
and cargo should never exceed”:
The cargo weight limit with one occupant is 849 lb. (385 kg) -  150 lb.
(68 kg) = 699 lb. (317 kg) 
The cargo weight limit with two  occupants is 849 lb. (385 kg) - (150 x
2) lb. ((68 x 2) kg) = 549 lb. (249 kg)
If  the  weight  of  the  occupant  inc reases,  the  cargo  weight  limit
decreases by that much.
GAW  (Gross  Axle  Weight)  is  the  total  weight  placed  on  each  axle
(front and rear) - incl uding vehicle curb weight and all payloa d.
GAWR  (Gross Axle  Weight  Rating)  is  the  maximum  allowable  weight
that can be carried by a single  axle (front or rear). These numbers are
shown  on  the  Safety  Compliance  Ce rtification  Label  located  on  the
driver’s  door  frame  or  door  p illar.  The  total  load  on  each  axle  must
never exceed its GAWR.
GVW  (Gross  Vehicle  Weight)  is  the  Vehicle  Curb  Weight  +  cargo  +
passengers.
GVWR  (Gross  Vehicle  Weight  Rating)  is  the  maximum  allowable
weight  of  the  fully  loaded  vehicl e  (including  all  options,  equipment,
passengers  and  cargo).  The  GVWR  is  shown  on  the  Safety  Compli-
ance Certification Label located on the driver’s door frame or  door pil-
lar. The GVW must never exceed the GVWR.

GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating) is the maximum allowable
weight  of  the  vehicle  -  including  all  cargo  and  passengers  -  that  the
vehicle  can  handle  without  risk ing  damage.  The  GCW  must  never
exceed the GCWR.
WARNING
■Do not tow a trailer  with this vehicle
Towing  a  trailer  with  this  vehicle  is  dangerous  because  it  has  not  been
designed to tow a trailer and do ing so will affect the drive system which
could result in vehicle damage.
■Overloaded Vehicle
Overloading  a  vehicle  is  dangerous.  The  results  of  overloading  can
have  serious  consequences  in  terms  of  passenger  safety.  Too  muc h
weight  on  a  vehicle’s  suspensi on  system  can  cause  spring  or  sho ck
absorber  failure,  brake  failure,  handling  or  steering  problems,   irregular
tire wear, tire failu re or other damage.
Overloading  makes  a  vehicle  harder  to  drive  and  control.  It  als o
increases  the  distance  required  for  stopping.  In  cases  of  serio us  over-
loading,  brakes  can  fail  completely,  particularly  on  steep  grad es.  The
load a tire will carry safely is  a combination of the size of t he tire, its load
range, and corresponding inflation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always observe the vehicle’s wei ght rat-
ings  from  the  vehicle’s  Safety  C ertification  and  Tire  and  Load Informa-
tion labels.
■Never Exceed Axle Weight Rating Limits
Exceeding the Safety  Certification Label axle weight rating lim its is dan-
gerous and could result in death  or serious injury as a result of substan-
dard  vehicle  handling,  performance,  engine,  transmission  and/or
structural damage, serious damage  to the vehicle, or loss of control.
Always keep the vehicle within the axle weight rating limits.
■Never Exceed GVWR or GAWR Specifications
Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification l abel is
dangerous. Exceeding any vehicle rating limitation could result  in a seri-
ous accident, injury, or damage to the vehicle.
Do  not  use  replacement  tires  with  lower  load  carrying  capacities  than
the  originals  because  they  may  lower  the  vehicle’s  GVWR  and  GAW R
limitations.  Replacement  tires  with  a  higher  limit  than  the  ori ginals  do
not  increase  the  GVWR  and  GAWR  limitations.  Never  exceed  the
GVWR or the GAWR specified  on the certification label.

Steps for Determining  the Correct Load 
Limit
Steps for Determining  Correct Load Limit-
(1) Locate  the  statement  “The  co mbined  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  t hat
will be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract  the  combined  weight  of  the  driver  and  passengers  fr om
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The  resulting  figure  equals  the  available  amount  of  cargo  an d  lug-
gage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 140 0
lbs.  and  there  will  be  five  150  lb  passengers  in  your  vehicle, the
amount  of  available  cargo  and  lu ggage  load  capacity  is  650  lbs.
(1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loa ded
on  the  vehicle.  That  weight  may  n ot  safely  exceed the  available
cargo and luggage load capac ity calculated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your tra iler  will  be
transferred  to  your  vehicle.  Consult  this  manual  to  determine  h ow
this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of y our
vehicle.
