load capacity Acura RSX 2006 Owner's Manual

µ·
The maximum load f or your vehicle
is 700 lbs (325 kg). This f igure
includes the total weight of all
occupants, cargo, accessories, and
the tongue weight if you are towing a
trailer.
Locate the statement, ‘‘the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 700 lbs’’ on your vehicle’s placard.
(The placard is on the driver’s
doorjamb).
Steps f or 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 f rom
700 lbs.
The resulting f igure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For
example, if the maximum load is
700 lbs and there will be f our 150
lb passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 100 lbs.
(700 600 (4 150) = 100 lbs)
Determine the combined weight
of luggage and cargo being loaded
in the vehicle. That weight may
not saf ely exceed the availablecargo and luggage load capacity in
step 4.
If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load f rom your trailer will
be transf erred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity of
yourvehicle(seepage ).
In addition, the total weight of the
vehicle, all passengers,
accessories,cargo,andtrailer
tongue load must not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or the Gross Axle
