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.

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.

vehicle can handle without risk ing damage. The GCW must never

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.
