Tire and Loading Information Label
Label Example
A vehicle specific Tire and
Loading Information label is
attached to the center pillar
(B-pillar). The tire and loading
information 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 0 287 and
Tire Pressure 0 289.
There is also important loading
information on the vehicle
Certification/Tire label. It may
show the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) for the
front and rear axles. See
Certification/Tire Label later in
this section.
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 weight
3.
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 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
