Determining loading limit
The permissible load is the total of the weight of
occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the
weight of the occupants, the less cargo/lug-
gage can be transported.

Locate the following statement on your
vehicle's placard*:
Stowing cargo
Coupe
The combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, overloading
can result in damage to the vehicle and
unstable driving conditions.<

Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX kilograms or YYY
pounds.
The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the YYY amount equals
Convertible
1,400
lbs. and there will be five 150-lb. pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity is
650
lbs:
1,400 lbs. minus 750 lbs. = 650 lbs.

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.
