weight of your new vehicle when

you picked it up from your

authorized dealer plus any

aftermarket equipment.

PAYLOAD

Payload - is the combined weight
of cargo and passengers that the
vehicle is carrying. The maximum

payload for your vehicle can be

found on the Tire Label on the

B-Pillar or the edge of the driver
door (vehicles exported outside

the US and Canada may not have

a Tire Label). Look for “THE
COMBINED WEIGHT OF

OCCUPANTS AND CARGO

SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX
kg OR XXX lb.” for maximum

payload. The payload listed on the

Tire Label is the maximum

payload for the vehicle as built by

the assembly plant. If you install

any aftermarket or

authorized-dealer installed
equipment on the vehicle, you

must subtract the weight of the

equipment from the payload listed

on the Tire Label in order to

determine the new payload.

WARNING

The appropriate loading

capacity of your vehicle can

be limited either by volume
capacity (how much space is

available) or by payload capacity

(how much weight the vehicle

should carry). Once you have

reached the maximum payload of
your vehicle, do not add more

cargo, even if there is space
available. Overloading or

improperly loading your vehicle

can contribute to loss of vehicle

control and vehicle rollover.
