loading can affect handling and
stability and cause a crash in
which you can be hurt or killed.

Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit
-
1. Locate the statement
‘‘The
combined 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 that 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 and
luggage load capacity. For
example, if the
‘‘XXX’’ amount
equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be
five 150 lb. passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs.
(1,400
-750 (5╳150)=650 lbs.)
