to break and change the way the
vehicle handles. This could
cause loss of control and a
crash. Overloading can also
reduce stopping distance,
damage the tires, and shorten
the life of the vehicle.
Tire and Loading Information Label
Example Label
A vehicle-specific Tire and Loading

the center pillar (B-pillar). The tire

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
DRIVING AND OPERATING
