Mazda 3 Owners Manual: Steps for Determining the Correct
Load Limit
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit-
- Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's placard.
- Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your
vehicle.
- Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX
kg or XXX lbs.
- The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity. For
example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb
passengers
in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs.
(1400 - 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs.)
- 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.
- 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.
