The load limit of your vehicle is shown on the vehicle placard attached to the driver's side B-pillar. Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs" on your vehicle's placard. The vehicle placard also shows seating capacity of your vehicle.

For information about towing capacity and weight limits, refer to "Trailer towing" F8-20. !
