For determining the compatibility of the tire and ve-
hicle load capabilities:
> Please see chapter "Wheels and Tires" on
page 316.
The load capacity coefficient (e.g. “106”) is a mini-
mum requirement. For more information:
> Please see chapter "Wheels and Tires" on
page 316.
The Gross Combined Weight Rating is the maximum
total weight rating of vehicle, passengers and cargo.
The Vehicle Capacity Weight – Load Limit – is the
maximum total weight limit specified of the load
(passengers and cargo) for the vehicle. This is the
maximum weight of passengers and cargo that can
be loaded into the vehicle. This information can be
found on the tire pressure plate.
The maximum loaded vehicle weight is the sum of
curb weight, accessory weight, vehicle capacity
weight and production options weight.
The load rating is the maximum load that a tire is
rated to carry for a given inflation pressure.
The maximum load rating is the load rating for a tire
at the maximum permissible inflation pressure.
The cargo capacity is the permissible weight of car-
go, the subtracted weight of passengers from the
load limit.
e
Never exceed the permissible limits.
DANGER
Riding in a Cargo Area
Injuries are much more likely in an accident if occu-
pants ride in the cargo area.
e Occupants must ride only in the seats provided
for this purpose.
e Make sure that all occupants fasten their seat
belts.
DANGER
Overloading Vehicle
Overloading will lead to dangerous vehicle reactions
and long braking distances.
e Never exceed the specified axle loads.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the vehicle if the vehicle is
overloaded.
Overloading can shorten the service life of the tires
and car. Damage due to overloading is not covered
by the vehicle warranty.
e
Never exceed the specified axle loads.
Vehicle Load Capacity
Fig. 258: Example for determining the combined weight of
occupants and cargo
e The combined weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed the weight shown on the
tire pressure plate in the vehicle.
e Never exceed the number of passengers shown
on the tire pressure plate in the vehicle.
Determining the combined weight of occupants
and cargo:
e Add the weight of all occupants and then add the
total luggage weight (figure)
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 lbs. 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 re-
duces the available cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity of your vehicle”.
