Kia Sportage: 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 lbs. passengers in your vehicle,
the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650
lbs. (1400-750 (5x150) = 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.
WARNING
Loose cargo
Do not travel with unsecured blunt
objects in the passenger compartment
of your vehicle (e.g., suit cases
or unsecured child seats). These
items may strike an occupant during
a sudden stop or crash.
