WARNINGS

Do not use replacement tires

with lower load carrying

capacities than the original tires

because they may lower the

vehicle’s GVWR and GAWR

limitations. Replacement tires

with a higher limit than the original

tires do not increase the GVWR

and GAWR limitations.

Exceeding any vehicle weight

rating limitation could result

in serious damage to the vehicle

and/or personal injury.

Steps for determining the

correct load limit:

1. Locate the statement "The

combined weight of occupants

and cargo should never exceed

XXX kg or XXX lb." 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 kg or XXX lb.

4. The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and

luggage load capacity. For

example, if the “XXX” amount

equals 1,400 lb. and there will

be five 150 lb. passengers in

your vehicle, the amount of

available cargo and luggage

load capacity is 650 lb.

(1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lb.)

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.

The following gives you a few

examples on how to calculate the

available amount of cargo and

luggage load capacity:

*Suppose your vehicle has a

1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargo

and luggage capacity. You decide

to go golfing. Is there enough load

capacity to carry you, four of your

friends and all the golf bags? You

and four friends average 220

pounds (99 kilograms) each and

the golf bags weigh approximately

30 pounds (13.5 kilograms) each.

The calculation would be: 1400 -

(5 x 220) - (5 x 30) = 1400 - 1100
