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 tire size of
the original equipment tires (3)
and the recommended cold tire
inflation pressures (4). For more
information on tires and inflation
see Tires 0 340 and Tire Pressure
0 347.
There is also important loading
information on the Certification
label. It may show 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 "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
this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load
capacity of your vehicle.
