Acura 2005 RSX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 131)

The maximum load for your vehicle
is 700 lbs (325 kg). This figure
includes the total weight of all
occupants, cargo, accessories, and
the tongue weight if you are towing a
trailer.
Locate the statement, ‘‘the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 700 lbs
(325 kg)’’ on your vehicle’s placard.
(The placard is on the driver’s
doorjamb).
Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit:
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
700 lbs (325 kg).
The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For
example, if the maximum load is
700 lbs (325 kg) and there will be
four 150 lb (70 kg) passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage load
capacity is 100 lbs (45 kg).
[700
600 (4 150) = 100 lbs]/
[325 280 (4 70) = 45 kg]
Determine the combined weight
of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. The weight may
not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity in
step 4.
If your vehicle will be towing 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. [See page
.]
In addition, the total weight of the
vehicle, all passengers,
accessories, cargo, and trailer
tongue load must not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). Both are
on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.
