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, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.

Example 1
1. Vehicle Capacity Weight for Example 1
= (453 kg) (1,000 lb)
2. Subtract Occupant Weight @ 68 kg
(150 lb) × 2 = 136 kg (300 lb)
3. Available Occupant and Cargo Weight
= 317 kg (700 lb)
Example 2
1. Vehicle Capacity Weight for Example 2
= 453 kg (1,000 lb)
2. Subtract Occupant Weight @ 68 kg
(150 lb) × 5 = 340 kg (750 lb)
3. Available Cargo Weight = 113 kg
(250 lb)
