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 tire 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 10 46 and
Tire Pressure on page 10 54.
There is also important loading
information on the 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
Locate the statement
1.
The 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.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
Driving and Operating
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
(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.
