13-10 Consumer information and Reporting safety defects Available Load Capacity = - 1,069 lbs 1,157 lbs (525 kg) (485 kg) (Vehicle (Total weight) capacity weight) three), and a child restraint system weighing 11 lbs (5 kg) is installed in the vehicle for the child to use, the calculations are as follows: 1. Calculate the total weight. Available Load Capacity = 1,157 lbs - 1,263 lbs (525 kg) (573 kg) (Total weight) (Vehicle capacity weight) = 88 lbs (40 kg) 3. The result of step 2 shows that a further 88 lbs (40 kg) of cargo can be carried. Example 2B Total weight 40 lbs 165 lbs 143 lbs + + = (18 kg) (75 kg) (65 kg) (Occupant) + 11 lbs (5 kg) + 705 lbs (320 kg) (Child restraint) (Cargo) + 22 lbs (10 kg) (Trailer hitch) + 176 lbs (80 kg) (Tongue load) = -105 lbs (-48 kg) 3. The total weight now exceeds the capacity weight by 105 lbs (48 kg), so the cargo weight must be reduced by 105 lbs (48 kg) or more. Determining compatibility of tire and vehicle load capacities The sum of four tires' maximum load ratings must exceed the maximum loaded vehicle weight ("GVWR"). In addition, sum of the maximum load ratings of two front tires and of two rear tires must exceed each axle's maximum loaded capacity ("GAWR"). Original equipment tires are designed to fulfill those conditions. The maximum loaded vehicle weight is referred to Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). And each axle's = 1,263 lbs (573 kg) 2. Calculate the available load capacity. D00104 For example, if a person weighing 143 lbs (65 kg) and a child weighing 40 lbs (18 kg) now enter the same vehicle (bringing the number of occupants to
