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 lbs.

bined weight of occupants and

cargo should never exceed XXX

kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s

placard.

available amount of cargo and

luggage load capacity. For ex-

ample, if the XXX amount equals

1400 lbs. and there will be five

150 lb. passengers in your vehi-

cle, the amount of available

cargo and luggage load capacity

is 650 lbs. (1400 − 750 (5 x 150) =

650 lbs)

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS

Secure loose items to prevent

weight shifts that could affect the

balance of your vehicle. When the

vehicle is loaded, drive to a scale

and weigh the front and the rear

wheels separately to determine

axle loads. Individual axle loads

should not exceed either of the

Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR).

The total of the axle loads should

not exceed the Gross Vehicle

Weight Rating (GVWR). These rat-

ings are given on the vehicle certi-

fication label. If weight ratings are

exceeded, move or remove items to

bring all weights below the ratings.

The GVW must not exceed GVWR

or GAWR as specified on the F.M.

Overloading not only can

shorten the life of your ve-

hicle and the tire, but can

cause unsafe vehicle hand-

ling and longer braking dis-

tances. This may cause a

Do not load the front and rear

axle to the GAWR. Doing so will

exceed the GVWR.
