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, pur‐
suant 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 "XXX" equals 1,400 lbs and
there are five occupants in your vehicle with
a weight of 150 lbs each, the maximum
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.
The 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 deter‐
mine how much this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehi‐
cle.
% 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 questions about towing a trailer with
your vehicle.
Even if you have calculated the total load care‐
fully, you should still make sure that the maxi‐
mum permissible gross weight and the maxi‐
mum gross axle weight rating of your vehicle are
not exceeded. Details can be found on the vehi‐
cle identification 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.
