equipment tires (3) and the
recommended cold tire inflation
pressures (4). For more
information on tires and inflation
see Tires 0 277 and Tire
Pressure 0 285.
There is also important loading
information on the Certification
label. It may show 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.
If this is a professional vehicle, a
vehicle-specific Tire and
Loading Information label will be
provided and installed by the
final body manufacturer. The
Tire and Loading Information
label should be attached to the
B-pillar. See the final stage
manufacturer's manual or
contact them directly. The label
shows the original tires installed
on the professional vehicle, the
recommended cold tire inflation
pressures for those tires, and
the vehicle's capacity weight.
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit
Locate the statement "The
1.
combined weight of
occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or
XXX lbs." on your vehicle s
placard.
Determine the combined
2.
weight of the driver and
passengers that will be
riding in your vehicle.
Subtract the combined
3.
weight of the driver and
passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs.
The resulting figure equals
4.
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
Driving and Operating
your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400-750 (5 x 150) =
650 lbs.)
Determine the combined
5.
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
6.
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.
See Trailer Towing 0 238 for
important information on towing
a trailer, towing safety rules, and
trailering tips.
