The higher the weight of all occupants, the less cargo and luggage load capacity is avail-
able.

Even after careful determination of the
combined weight of all occupants, cargo
and the trailer tongue load (if applicable)
as to not exceed the permissible load limit,
you must make sure that your vehicle nev-
