Vehicle Care
Vehicle Capacity Weight
The number of designated
seating positions multiplied by
68 kg (150 lbs) plus the rated
cargo load. See Vehicle Load
Limits on page 9 12.
Vehicle Maximum Load on the
Tire
Load on an individual tire
:
due to curb weight, accessory
weight, occupant weight, and
cargo weight.
Vehicle Placard
A label
:
permanently attached to a
vehicle showing the vehicle
capacity weight and the
original equipment tire size
and recommended inflation
pressure. See Tire and Loading
Information Label under Vehicle
Load Limits on page 9 12.
Tire Pressure
Tires need the correct amount
of air pressure to operate
effectively.
Notice: Do not let anyone tell
:
you that underinflation or
overinflation is all right. It is
not. If the tires do not have
enough air (underinflation),
you can get the following:
Tire overloading and
over-heating which could
lead to a blowout.
Premature or
irregular wear.
Poor handling.
Reduced fuel economy.
If the tires have too much air
(overinflation), you can get the
following:
Unusual wear.
Poor handling.
Rough ride.
Needless damage from
road hazards.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
A vehicle-specific Tire and
Loading Information label is
attached to the vehicle. This
label shows the vehicle's
original equipment tires and the
correct inflation pressures for
the tires when they are cold.
The recommended cold tire
inflation pressure, shown on the
label, is the minimum amount
of air pressure needed to
support the vehicle's maximum
load-carrying capacity.
For additional information
regarding how much weight
the vehicle can carry, and an
example of the Tire and Loading
Information label, see Vehicle
Load Limits on page 9 12.
How you load the vehicle
affects vehicle handling
and ride comfort. Never
load the vehicle with more
weight than it was designed
to carry.
