The Tire and Loading Information label also shows the
tire 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 5-56

and

Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-62

.

There is also important loading information on the
Certification label. It tells you the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for the front and rear axle; see Certification
Label later in this section.

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 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 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).

5. Determine the combined 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.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, the load from

your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine how this reduces
the available cargo and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle.

If your vehicle can tow a trailer, see

Towing a Trailer

on page 4-36

for important information on towing a

trailer, towing safety rules, and trailering tips.
