above the door latch 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
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 10 47 and Tire Pressure
on page 10 54.
There is also important
information on the Certification/
Tire label. It tells you the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
and the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for the front and
rear axles. See Certification/
Tire Label later in this section.
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's
placard.
Determine the combined
2.
weight of the driver and
passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
Subtract the combined
3.
weight 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).
Determine the combined
5.
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.
