Payload
– is the combined weight of cargo and passengers that the vehicle
is carrying. The maximum payload for your vehicle can be found on the
Tire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door (vehicles
exported outside the US and Canada may not have a Tire Label). Look for
“THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX kg OR XXX lb.” for maximum payload. The
payload listed on the Tire Label is the maximum payload for the vehicle
as built by the assembly plant. If any aftermarket or authorized-dealer
installed equipment has been installed on the vehicle, the weight of the
equipment must be subtracted from the payload listed on the Tire Label in
order to determine the new payload.
WARNING: The appropriate loading capacity of your vehicle
can be limited either by volume capacity (how much space is
available) or by payload capacity (how much weight the vehicle should
carry). Once you have reached the maximum payload of your vehicle,
do not add more cargo, even if there is space available. Overloading or
improperly loading your vehicle can contribute to loss of vehicle control
and vehicle rollover.
