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 near the door
lock post. 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). For more
information on tires and inflation
see Tires on page 9-39 and
Inflation - Tire Pressure on
page 9-46.
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.
Driving and Operating
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit
Locate the statement
1.
"The combined weight
of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX kg
or XXX lbs" on your vehicle
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).
