Steps
for determining correct load
limit:
Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicl e.
The
maximum load for your vehicle
is 675 lbs (308 kg). This figure
includes the total weight of all
occupants, cargo, and accessories,
and the tongue load if you are towing
a trailer. Locate
the statement, ‘‘the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 675
lbs’’ on your vehicle’s placard.
[The placard is on the driv er’s
doorjamb.]
Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers from
675 pounds or 308 kilograms. Determine
the combined weight
of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may
not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capaci ty
calc ulated in step 4.
The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capaci ty.
For example, if the maximum load
is 675 lbs and there will be four
150 lb. passengers in your vehicle,
the amount of available cargo and luggage
load capaci ty is 75 lbs.
(675 600 (4 150) = 75 lbs.)
If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from 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 ).
