Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit:
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
Step4.
6.
If your vehicle is capable of towing a trailer: The 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.
Check the tire sidewall to determine the load index specified for the tire.
