1400 – (2 x 220) – (9 x 100) = 1400 – 440 – 900 = 60 lbs. Metric
conversion; 636 kg – (2 x 100) – (9 x 45) = 636 – 200 – 405 = 31 kg.

The above calculations also assume that the loads are positioned in your
vehicle in a manner that does not overload the Front or the Rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating specified for your vehicle on the Certification label
found on the driver’s door.
