STEPS FOR DETERMINING CORRECT
LOAD LIMIT
Do not exceed the vehicle capacity weight
(the total weight of driver, passengers and
cargo) given on the tire information label.
1. Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your
vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX kilograms 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.
The number and weight of passengers will
affect the cargo and luggage capacity. In the
example above, the cargo and luggage load
capacity is 650 lbs. However, if fewer
passengers ride in the vehicle, the luggage load
capacity will increase. If this vehicle carries
three 150 lb passengers, the cargo and luggage
load capacity will increase to 950 lbs:
(3 x 150 = 450 lbs, and 1400 - 450 + 950 lbs).
If the passengers weigh more, the cargo and
luggage load capacity will decrease.
The weight of accessories must also be
subtracted from the cargo and luggage load
capacity. See 184, PRODUCTION OPTION
WEIGHTS. If you are unsure of the weight of
any accessories fitted to your vehicle, contact
your Dealer/Authorized Repairer.
Overloading the vehicle will have an adverse
affect on braking and handling
characteristics, which could compromise
your safety. Overloading a vehicle may also
cause tire damage or failure. Never overload
your vehicle.
