provide maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading

your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining

your vehicle’s weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle’s

Tire Label or Safety Compliance Certification Label:

Base Curb Weight – is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of

fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or

optional equipment.

Vehicle Curb Weight –

is the weight of your new vehicle when you

picked it up from your authorized dealer plus any aftermarket equipment.

Payload – is the combined weight of cargo and passengers that the

vehicle is carrying. The maximum payload for your vehicle can be found

on the Tire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door

(vehicles exported outside the US and Canada may not have a Tire

Label). Look for “THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCUPANTS AND

CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX kg OR XXX lb.” for

maximum payload. The payload listed on the Tire Label is the maximum

payload for the vehicle as built by the assembly plant. If any aftermarket

or authorized-dealer installed equipment has been installed on the

vehicle, the weight of the equipment must be subtracted from the

payload listed on the Tire Label in order to determine the new payload.

WARNING: The appropriate loading capacity of your vehicle

can be limited either by volume capacity (how much space is

available) or by payload capacity (how much weight the vehicle

should carry). Once you have reached the maximum payload of

your vehicle, do not add more cargo, even if there is space

available. Overloading or improperly loading your vehicle can

contribute to loss of vehicle control and vehicle rollover.
