Example Label
A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information
label is attached to the center pillar (B-pillar). 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

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 297 and Inflation - Tire Pressure
on page 304.
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.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
Locate the statement "The combined weight
1.
of occupants and cargo should never exceed
1556694
XXX lbs" on your vehicle's placard.
Determine the combined weight of the driver
2.
and passengers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
Subtract the combined weight of the driver
3.
and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
The resulting figure equals the available
4.
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 1400
lbs and there will be five 150 lb passengers
