This figure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and accessories, and the tongue load
if you are towing a trailer. Below are the steps for determining the 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 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 - 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, load from your trailer will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult the Owner’s Manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
In addition, the total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, accessories, cargo, and trailer tongue
load must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR). Both are on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.

Max Cargo Weight
Example2
Max Load

Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and cause a crash in which
you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this guide.
WARNING
The headlight aim on your vehicle was set by the factory and does not need to be adjusted.
However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the cargo area, have the aiming readjusted at your
authorized Acura NSX dealer or by a qualified technician.
Your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer. Attempting to do so can void your warranties.
