Driving your vehicle
Tyre label - type A
OKA4080004
Tyre label - type B
OKA4080004R
The Certification/Tyre label is found on
the front edge of the RH (or LH) "B" pil-
lar. The label shows the size of your orig-
inal tyres and inflation pressures needed
to obtain the gross weight capacity of
your vehicle.
This is called the GVWR (Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel
and cargo. The Certification/Tyre label
also tells you the maximum weights for
the front and rear axles, called Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
Never exceed the GVWR for your vehi-
cle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for either the front or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you
should spread it out.
Your warranty does not cover parts or
components that fail because of over-
loading.
CAUTION
Do not load your vehicle any heavier
than the GVWR or the maximum front
and rear GAWR. If you do, change to the
vehicle may occur, or it can change the
way your vehicle handles. These could
cause you to lose control. Also, overload-
ing can shorten the life of your vehicle.
