Loading information

It is very important to know how much
weight your vehicle can carry. This weight is
called the vehicle capacity weight and
includes the weight of all occupants, cargo
(including the roof load), non-factory-
installed options, and the tongue weight of
the trailer, if any, being towed. The tire and
loading information placard located on the
driver's door sill of your vehicle will show
how much weight it may properly carry.
WARNING
 Never overload your vehicle. Overloading
can damage your vehicle, adversely affect
vehicle performance, including handling
and braking, cause tire failure, and result
in an accident.
It is important to familiarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:
 Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load
on an individual tire that is determined by
distributing to each axle its share of the
maximum loaded vehicle weight and
dividing by two.
 Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an
individual tire that is determined by dis-
tributing to each axle its share of the curb
