Tire and Loading Information
Label
Example Label
A vehicle specific Tire and
Loading Information label is
attached to the center pillar
(B-pillar) of your vehicle. With
the driver's door open, you
will find the label attached below
the door lock post (striker).
The tire and loading information
label shows the number of
occupant seating positions (A),
and the maximum vehicle
capacity weight (B) in kilograms
and pounds.
The Tire and Loading Information
label also shows the size of the
original equipment tires (C) and
the recommended cold tire
inflation pressures (D). For more
information on tires and inflation
see Tires on page 5-36 and
Inflation - Tire Pressure on
page 5-42.
There is also important loading
information on the vehicle
Certification/Tire 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/Tire
Label" later in this section.
Driving Your Vehicle
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).
