3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lb.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For example, if the 'XXX' amount equals
661 lb and there will be four 150lb passengers in the vehicle,
the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 61lb
(661–600 (4x150) = 61 lb). In metric units (300–272 (4x68) =
28 kg.).
5. Determine the combined 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.
Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure
The maximum permissible inflation pressure is the tire
manufacturer's maximum permissible pressure and / or the pressure
at which the maximum load can be carried by the tire. This pressure
is normally higher than the manufacturer's recommended cold
inflation pressure which can be found on the Safety Compliance
Certification Label or Tire Label.
The cold inflation pressure should never be set lower than the
recommended pressure on the Safety Compliance Certification Label
or Tire Label.
The recommended cold inflation tire pressures for this vehicle
can also be found in the Specifications chapter of this Owner's
Guidebook (Refer to 'Tires', page 12.6)

Safety Practices

Warning: If your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., do
not rapidly spin the tires; spinning the tires can tear the tire and
cause an explosion. A tire can explode in as little as three to five
seconds.
Warning: Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph (56 km/h).
The tires may fail and injure a passenger or bystander.
Driving habits have a great deal to do with your tire mileage and
safety.
• Observe posted speed limits
• Avoid fast starts, stops and turns
• Avoid potholes and objects on the road
• Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against a curb when parking
