available cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs).

Step 5: Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehi-
cle. That weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in step 4.
Example: steps 1 to 3
The following table shows examples on how to
calculate total and cargo load capacities with
varying seating configurations and number and
size of occupants. The following examples use
a load limit of 1500 lbs (680 kg). This is for
illustration purposes only. Make sure you
are using the actual load limit for your vehicle
stated on your vehicle's Tire and Loading Infor-
mation placard (
Y
page 303).
The greater the combined weight of the occu-
pants, the lower the maximum luggage load.

Vehicle identification plate
Even if you have calculated the total cargo
carefully, you should still make sure that the
gross vehicle weight rating and the gross axle
weight rating are not exceeded. Details can be
found on the vehicle identification plate on the
B-pillar on the driver's side of the vehicle
(
Y
page 303).
Permissible gross vehicle weight: the gross
weight of the vehicle, all passengers and the
load must not exceed the permissible gross
vehicle weight.
