Step 1: Locate the statement "The com-

bined weight of occupants and cargo

should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on

your vehicle’s Tire and Loading Information

placard.

X

Step 2: Determine the combined weight of

the driver and passengers that will be riding

in your vehicle.

X

Step 3: Subtract the combined weight of

the driver and passengers from XXX kilo-

grams or XXX lbs.

X

Step 4: The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and luggage load

capacity. For example, if the "XXX" amount

equals 1400 lbs and there will be five 150

lbs passengers in your vehicle, the amount

of available cargo and luggage load capa-

city is 650 lbs (1 400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650

lbs).

X

Step 5: 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 capa-

city calculated in step 4.

X

Step 6 (if applicable): If your vehicle will

be towing a trailer, load from your trailer

will be transferred to your vehicle. Refer to

this Operator's Manual to determine how

this reduces the available cargo and lug-

gage load capacity of your vehicle

(
