NOTE:

Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition,

gross axle weight ratings (GAWRs) for the front and rear

axles must not be exceeded. For further information on

GAWRs, vehicle loading, and trailer towing, refer to

“Vehicle Loading” in this section.
To determine the maximum loading conditions of your

vehicle, locate the statement “The combined weight of

occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX

lbs.” on the Tire and Loading Information placard. The

combined weight of occupants, cargo/luggage and

trailer tongue weight (if applicable) should never exceed

the weight referenced here.
Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit

1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occu-

pants 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 pas-

sengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of

cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if “XXX”

amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be five

150 lb (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of

available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs

(295 kg) (since 5 x 150 = 750, and 1400 – 750 = 650 lbs

[295 kg]).
