amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.

650 lbs (1400
−
750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs).

and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in

load capacity of your vehicle.
If your vehicle can tow a trailer, see Towing a
Trailer on page 315 for important information
on towing a trailer, towing safety rules,
