Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 1. If your vehicle has the Tire and Loading Information label, Example 1, locate the Vehicle Capacity Weight ". If your vehicle has the Tire and Loading Information label, Example 2, locate the "Maximum Load" amount. 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 Vehicle Capacity Weight (Example 1-United States) or subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from Maximum Load (Example 2-Canada). 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the Vehicle Capacity Weight or the Maximum Load amount equals 1400 lbs. (635 kg) and there will be five 150 lb. (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (295 kg). 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.
