occupants, then add the total luggage
weight to the value. Examples are
shown in the illustration.
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 avail-
able 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 avail-
able cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 − 750 (5 x
150) = 650 lbs.) or 640 − 340 (5 x
70) = 300 kg.
(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 capacity calcu-
lated in Step 4.
(6) 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 lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle.
Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm
that you do not exceed the Gross Ve-
hicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
your vehicle. See “Measurement of
Weights” later in this section.
Also check tires for proper inflation
pressures. See the Tire and Loading In-
formation label.
LOADING TIPS
O
The GVW must not exceed GVWR or
GAWR
as
specified
on
the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification
label.
O
Do not load the front and rear axle
to the GAWR. Doing so will exceed
the GVWR.
WARNING
O
Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than the
seatbacks. In a sudden stop or col-
lision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
O
Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR or the maxi-
mum front and rear GAWRs. If you
do, parts of your vehicle can break,
tire damage could occur, or it can
change the way your vehicle
handles. This could result in loss of
control and cause personal injury.
O
Overloading could not only shorten
the life of your vehicle and the tires,
but also could lead to hazardous
vehicle handling and long braking
distance. This may cause a prema-
ture tire malfunction, which could
result in a serious accident and per-
