Tires, Wheels and Loading SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS The original equipment tires on your vehicle have an all-weather tread design to provide traction, handling, and braking performance in year-round driving. You may install ЉsnowЉ tires for improved traction when driving in areas with sustained periods of snow or icy driving conditions. If you choose to install snow tires on your vehicle, they must be the same size, construction, and load range as the original tires listed on the tire placard, and they must be installed on all four wheels. Mixing tires of different size or construction on your vehicle can adversely affect your vehicle's handling and braking, and may lead to loss of vehicle control. Do not use snow chains or cables on this vehicle as they may cause damage to your vehicle which may lead to loss of vehicle control. VEHICLE LOADING This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle to keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating capability. Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining your vehicle's weight ratings 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. 157 2006 Zephyr (378) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
