WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle
handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity
for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.
• Under-inflation increases tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire failure.
• Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes
can cause damage that results in tire failure.
• Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift
to the right or left.
• Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly,
resulting in loss of vehicle control.
• Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
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,
or the Tire Information Supplement, located in your Owner’s Information kit.
NOTE:
Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition, gross axle weight ratings (GAWRs) for the front and
rear axles must not be exceeded. Refer to “Vehicle Loading” in “Starting And Operating” in the
Owner’s Manual, or the Tire Information Supplement, located in your Owner’s Information kit for
further information on GAWRs, vehicle loading, and trailer towing.
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.
