Locate the statement ‘‘The
combined weight of occupants and

The maximum load for your vehicle
is 850 lbs (385 kg) for U.S. vehicles,
and 395 kg for Canadian vehicles.

See Tire And Loading Information
label attached to the driver’s
doorjamb.

Label Example

This figure includes the total weight
of all occupants, cargo, and
accessories, and the tongue load if
you are towing a trailer.

Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit

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 kg or XXX lbs.
The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For
example, if the ‘‘XXX’’ amount
equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be
five 150 lb. passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs.
(1,400

750 (5

150) = 650 lbs.)
