Loading the vehicle of the vehicle weight, all vehicle occu- pants, the fuel and the cargo. You can also find information about the maximum gross axle weight rating on the front and rear axle. The maximum gross axle weight rating is the maximum weight that can be carried by one axle (front or rear axle).

Step 1: Locate the statement "The com- bined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs."...
Page 347 Loading the vehicle Example: steps 1 to 3 The following table shows examples on how to calculate total and cargo load capacities with varying seating configurations and number and size of occupants. The following examples use a load limit of 1 500 lbs (680 kg). This is for illustration purposes only. Make sure you are using the actual load limit for your vehicle stated on your vehicle's Tire and Loading Information placard ( page 343).

Page 353: Load Index
Tire labeling The TIN is a unique identification number. The Load index TIN enables tire manufacturers to inform pur- chasers of recalls and other safety-relevant matters. It makes it possible for the pur- chaser to easily identify the affected tires. The TIN is made up of manufacturer identifi- cation code ;, tire size =, tire type code ? and manufacturing date A.
