Steps for Determining the Load Limit of
This Vehicle
1. Locate the statement “The combined
weight of the passengers and cargo
should never exceed xxx kg or xxx lbs”
on the Tire and Loading Information
Label in the vehicle, located on the
driver side front door jamb.
2. Identify and determine the weight of
all added adaptive equipment and
mobility devices to be used in the
vehicle. Consult your VMI dealer if this
is not clear to you.
3. Determine the additional combined
weight of the driver and passengers
and other cargo in the vehicle.
4. Subtract the weight of all added
equipment, mobility device, and
the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from xxx kg or xxx
lbs posted on the Tire and Loading
Information Label.
5. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity and should never equal 0
or a negative number.
Example: If xxx = 1100 lbs, the added
equipment and mobility device = 240 lbs
and there will be four 150 lb passengers
using this vehicle, the amount of available
cargo capacity is 260 lbs (since 4
passengers x 150 lbs = 600 lbs and 1100
lbs – 240 lbs – 600 lbs = 260 lbs). The
amount of additional passengers and
cargo should not exceed the remaining
260 lbs.
Again, it is important to the safety of
your vehicle, your passengers and those
operating your vehicle, as well as those
around you, that the owner and operator
are always aware of the load capacity of
your vehicle and confirm that the load
capacity of the vehicle is not exceeded.
A deterioration in handling, vehicle
damage, and failure while in use may
occur if systems are overloaded. You are
responsible for the safe operation of your
vehicle!
