Driving your vehicle Vehicle load limit
(2) Determine the combined
weight of the driver and passen
-
gers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight
of the driver and passengers
from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals
the available 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.)
(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 transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle.
