NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR XXX
LBS"on your vehicle's placard
(tire inflation pressure label)

2. Determine the combined
weight of the driver and pas-
sengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight
of the driver and passengers
from
"XXX" kilograms or "XXX"
pounds shown on the sticker
¢ page 262, fig. 197.
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For ex-
ample, 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 capacity is 650 lbs
(1400-750 (5
X 150) = 650 lbs)
5. Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely ex-
ceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calculat-
ed in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your ve-
266
hicle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces
the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity of your vehi-
cle.
~check the tire sidewall
(¢ page 252, fig. 195) to deter-
mine the designated load rating
for a specific tire .
