Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
The following steps have been developed as
required of all manufacturers under Title 49, Code
of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575, pursuant to
the "National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act
of 1966".
#
(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 pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa-
ble cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs. (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
#
(5): Determine the combined weight of lug-
gage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely exceed the availa-
ble cargo and luggage load capacity calcula-
ted 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.
% Not all vehicles are permitted to tow a trailer.
Towing a trailer is only permitted if a trailer-
hitch is installed. Please consult an authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer if you have any ques-
tions about towing a trailer with your vehicle.
Even if you have calculated the total load carefully,
you should still make sure that the maximum per-
missible gross weight and the maximum gross
axle weight rating of your vehicle are not excee-
ded. Details can be found on the vehicle identifi-
cation plate.
#
Have your loaded vehicle – including driver,
occupants and load – weighed on a vehicle
weighbridge.
The measured values may not exceed the
maximum permissible values stated on the
vehicle identification plate.
