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.
