Tire and Loading Information Label
Label Example
A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information
label is attached to the vehicle's 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
number of occupant seating positions (A), and the
maximum vehicle capacity weight (B) in kilograms
and pounds.
The Tire and Loading Information label also shows
the tire size of the original equipment tires (C) and
the recommended cold tire inflation pressures (D).
4-20
For more information on tires and inflation see Tires
on page 5-60 and Inflation - Tire Pressure on
page 5-67.
There is also important loading information on the
Certification 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 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
XXX kg or XXX lbs" on your vehicle 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 in your
vehicle, the amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs
(1400 − 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs).
