weight MAZDA MODEL 3 SEDAN 2019 Owner's Guide

Payload is the combination weight of
cargo and passengers that the vehicle is
designed to carry. The maximum payload
for your vehicle can be found on the Tire
and Load Information l abel on the driver's
door frame or door pillar. Look for “THE
COMBINATION WEIGHT OF
OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX kg or XXX lbs”
for your maximum payload. The payload
listed on the tire label is the maximum
payload for the vehicle as built by the
assembly plant. If any aftermarket or
dealer installed equipment has been
installed on the vehicle, the weight of the
equipment must be s ubtracted from the
payload listed on the tire label in order to
be accurate.

SAMPLE

CARGO
Cargo Weight includes all weight added
to the Base Curb Weight, including cargo
and optional equipment.

The cargo weight limit decreases
depending on the number of vehicle
occupants. The cargo weight limit can be
calculated by subtracting the total weight
of the vehicle occupants from the
“combination weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed” value on the
tire label.

Examples: Based on a single occupant
weight of 68 kg (150 lbs), and a value of
385 kg (849 lbs) for the “combination
weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed”:
The cargo weight limit with one occupant
is 385 kg (849 lbs) － 68 kg (150 lbs) =
317 kg (699 lbs)
The cargo weight limit with two occupants
is 385 kg (849 lbs) － (68 × 2) kg ( (150 ×
2) lbs) = 249 kg (549 lbs)
If the weight of the occupant increases, the
cargo weight limit decreases by that much.

GAW (Gross Axle Weight) is the total
weight placed on each axle (front and
rear) - including ve hicle curb weight and
all payload.

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) is
the maximum allowable weight that can be
carried by a single axle (front or rear).
These numbers are shown on the Safety
Compliance Certificat ion Label located
on the driver's door frame or door
pillar. The total lo ad on each axle must
never exceed its GAWR.

GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) is the
Vehicle Curb Weight + cargo +
passengers.

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
is the maximum allowable weight of the
fully loaded vehicle (including all options,
equipment, passengers and cargo). The
GVWR is shown on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label located
on the driver's door frame or door
pillar. The GVW must never exceed the
GVWR.

SAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Never Exceed Axle Weight Rating Limits:
Exceeding the Safety Certification Label
axle weight rating limits is dangerous and
could result in death or serious injury as a
result of substandar d vehicle handling,
performance, engine, transmission and/or
structural damage, serious damage to the
vehicle, or loss of control.
Always keep the vehicle within the axle
weight rating limits.

GCW
GCW (Gross Combination Weight) is
the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW).

GCWR (Gross Combination Weight
Rating) is the maximum allowable weight
of the vehicle - including all cargo and
passengers - that the vehicle can handle
without risking damage. The GCW must
never exceed the GCWR.

WA R N I N G
Never Exceed GVWR or GAWR
Specifications:
Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR specified
on the certification label is dangerous.
Exceeding any vehicle rating limitation
could result in a serious accident, injury, or
damage to the vehicle.
Do not use replacement tires with lower
load carrying capacities than the originals
because they may lower the vehicle's
GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement
tires with a higher limit than the originals
do not increase the GVWR and GAWR
limitations.
Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR
specified on the certification label.

Steps for Determining the Correct Load Limit
▼Steps for Determining the Correct Load Limit
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit-
(1) Locate the statement “The com
bined weight of occupants and cargo should never
exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers t hat will be riding in your
vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo an d luggage load capacity. For
example, if the “XXX” amount equ als 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb passengers
in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 － 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loa ded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage lo ad capacity calculated
in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towi ng a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
