8-14 Driving and Operating

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 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 x 150) = 650 lbs).

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, the load from your

trailer will be transferre d to

your vehicle. Consult this

manual to determine how this

reduces the available cargo

and luggage load capacity of

your vehicle.
