The maximum load limit for your
vehicle is 400 lbs (185 kg). This
figure includes the total weight of all
occupants, cargo, and accessories.
Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passenger from 400
lbs (185 kg).
The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity.
To determine the correct cargo and
luggage load limit.
Locate the statement, ‘‘the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 400 lbs
(185 kg)’’ on your vehicle’s placard
(on the driver’s doorjamb).
Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passenger that
will be riding in your vehicle. (Two
is the seating capacity of your
vehicle.)
For example, if there will be two 150
lbs (70 kg) occupants in your vehicle,
the amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 100 lbs (45
kg).

150 lbs (70 kg) = 300 lbs (140
kg)
400 lbs (185 kg)
300 lbs (140 kg) =
100 lbs (45 kg)
Determine the combined weight
of accessories, luggage, and cargo
being loaded in the vehicle. The
weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load
capacity calculated in step 4.
