Determining loading limit
Load
1.
2.
Locate the following statement on your
vehicle's placard*:
The permissible load is the total of the weight of
occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the
weight of occupants, the less cargo/luggage
can be transported.
The combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX lbs. or YYY kg, as otherwise the vehicle
may be damaged and unstable driving con-
ditions may result.<
Stowing cargo
Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.

4.
Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX lbs. or YYY kg.
The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount equals

lbs.:
lbs. minus 600 lbs. = 200 lbs.

Securing cargo

6.
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.
If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of
the load from your trailer will be transferred
to your vehicle. Consult the manual for
transporting a trailer to determine how this
may reduce the available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
