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 1400 lbs. and there
will be five 150 lb. passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs. (1400
⫺
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 calculated in
Step 4.
6.
If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,
load from your trailer will be trans-
ferred to your vehicle. Consult this
manual to determine how this re-
duces the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle.
Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm
that you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
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 pres-
sures. See the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label.
LOADING TIPS
●
The GVW must not exceed GVWR or
GAWR
as
specified
on
the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification la-
bel.
●
Do not load the front and rear axle to
the GAWR. Doing so will exceed the
GVWR.
WARNING
●
Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from slid-
ing or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
●
Do not load your vehicle any heavier
than the GVWR or the maximum 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 re-
sult in loss of control and cause per-
sonal injury.
●
Overloading can not only shorten the
life of your vehicle and the tires, but
can also cause unsafe vehicle han-
dling and longer braking distances.
This may cause a premature tire fail-
ure, which could result in a serious
accident and personal injury. Failures
caused by overloading are not cov-
ered by the vehicle’s warranty.
