Tire And Loading Information Placard
This placard tells you important information
about the:
1. Number of people that can be carried in the
vehicle.
2. Total weight your vehicle can carry.
3. Tire size designed for your vehicle.
4. Cold tire inflation pressures for the front,
rear, and spare tires.
Loading
The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on
your vehicle. You will not exceed the tire's load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loading
conditions, tire size, and cold tire inflation pressures specified on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion placard in “Vehicle Loading” in the “Starting And Operating” section of the Owner’s Manual
on the DVD.
NOTE:
Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition, gross axle weight ratings (GAWRs) for the front and
rear axles must not be exceeded. For further information on GAWRs, vehicle loading, and trailer
towing, refer to “Vehicle Loading” in the “Starting And Operating” section of the Owner’s
Manual on the DVD.
To determine the maximum loading conditions of your vehicle, locate the statement “The
combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on the Tire
and Loading Information placard. The combined weight of occupants, cargo/luggage and trailer
tongue weight (if applicable) should never exceed the weight referenced here.
Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit—
(1) Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity. For example, if “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 (5x150) = 650 lbs.)
