Acura 2009 RDX - Manual (Page 290)

Locate the statement ‘‘The
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX
kg or XXX lbs.’’ on your vehicle’s
placard.
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 from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
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.)
The maximum load for your vehicle
is 870 lbs for U.S. vehicles, and 395
kg for Canadian vehicles.
See Tire And Loading Information
label attached to the driver’s
doorjamb.
