RMaximum number of seats 2according to
the maximum number of people permitted to
travel in thevehicle.
RMaximum permissible load 3comprises the
gross weight of all vehicle occupants, load and

RRecommended tire pressure 1for cold tires.
The recommended tire pressures are valid for
the maximum permissible load and up to the
maximum permissible vehicle speed.

SStteps feps for Detor Deterermining Corrmining Correct Load Limitect Load Limit
The following steps have been developed as
required of all manufacturers under Title 49, Code
of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575, pursuant to
the "National Trac and MotorVehicle SafetyAct
of 1966".
#(1):(1): Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should never
exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's
placard.
#(2):(2): Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
#(3):(3): Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
#(4):(4): The resulting gure equals theavailable
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
Forexample, if the "XXX" amount equals
1,400 lbs. and there will be ve 150 lb pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa-
ble cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs. (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
#(5):(5): Determine the combined weight of lug-
gage and cargo being loaded on thevehicle.
That weight may not safely exceed theavaila-
ble cargo and luggage load capacity calcula-
ted in Step 4.
