The maximum load for your vehicle
is 1,323 lbs (600 kg). This figure
includes the total weight of all
occupants, cargo, accessories, and
the tongue weight if you are towing a
trailer.
To determine the correct cargo and
luggage load limit:
Locate the statement, ‘‘the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 1,323
lbs (600 kg)’’ on your vehicle’s
placard (on the driver’s doorjamb).
Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in the vehicle. (Eight
is seating capacity of your vehicle.)
Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers from
1,323 lbs (600 kg).
If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, the load from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle.
For example, if there will be five 150
lbs (70 kg) occupants in your vehicle,
the amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 573 lbs (250
kg).
5 150 lbs (70 kg) = 750 lbs (350
kg)
1,323 lbs (600 kg) 750 lbs (350 kg)
= 573 lbs (250 kg)
The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity.
Determine the combined weight
of accessories, luggage, and cargo
beingloadedinthevehicle.The
weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load
capacity calculated in step 4 [573
lbs(250kg)inthisexample].
The total weight must not exceed
theGrossVehicleWeightRating
(GVWR). The load for the front and
rear axles also must not exceed the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
(see page ).
