Example for determining the combined weight of occupants and cargo

Vehicle Load Capacity

The combined weight of occupants and cargo

should never exceed the weight shown on the

tire plate in the vehicle.
Please observe the chapter ”TIRE PRESSURE

PLATE” on page 327.
Never exceed the number of passengers

shown on the tire pressure plate in the vehicle.

Determining the combined weight of occupants
and cargo:

Add the weight of all occupants and then add

the total luggage weight (gure).

Steps for determining correct load limit

1. Locate the statement "The combined weight of

occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX

pounds" on your vehicle’s placard (depending

on the date of manufacture).

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 kilograms or XXX

pounds.

4. The resulting figure equals the available

amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.

For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 1400

lbs. and there will be five - 150 lb passengers

in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo

and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 -

750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
