750( 5 � 150) = 650 lbs.)
( 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.
( 6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, 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.( �P. 224)
Calculation formula for your vehicle
A Cargo capacity
B Total load capacity( vehicle capacity weight)( �P. 644)
When 2 people with the combined weight of A lb.( kg) are riding in your vehicle, which has a total load capacity( vehicle capacity weight) of B lb.( kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be C lb.( kg) as follows:
B * 2 lb.( kg)- A * 1 lb.( kg) = C * 3 lb.( kg)
* 1: A = Weight of people
* 2: B = Total load capacity * 3: C = Available cargo and luggage load
In this condition, if 3 more passengers with the combined weight of D lb.( kg) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced E lb.( kg) as follows:
C lb.( kg)- D * 4 lb.( kg) = E * 5 lb.( kg)
* 4: D = Additional weight of people
* 5: E = Available cargo and luggage load
As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount that equals the increased weight due to the additional occupants. In other words, if an increase in the number of occupants causes an excess of the total load capacity( combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.
