Driving and Operating
Tire and Loading Information
Label
Label Example
A vehicle-specific Tire and
Loading Information label is
attached to the center pillar
(B-pillar) of your vehicle. With
the driver door open, you will
find the label attached below the
door latch. This label shows the
number of occupant seating
positions (1), and the maximum
vehicle capacity weight (2) in
kilograms and pounds.
The Tire and Loading
Information label also shows the
size of the original equipment
tires (3) and the recommended
cold tire inflation pressures (4).
For more information on tires
and inflation see
Tires on
page 10-43
and
Tire Pressure
on page 10-51
.
There is also important loading
information on the vehicle
Certification label. It tells you the
Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) and the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
the front and rear axle. See
Certification Label
later in this
section.
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit
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.
Determine the combined
weight of the driver and
passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.
3.
Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and
passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs.
4.
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 x 150)
= 650 lbs.)
