Buick Lucerne Owner Manual - 2011

The Tire and Loading Information label also lists
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 6

and

.

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'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 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 for your vehicle.

If your vehicle can tow a trailer, see

Towing a

Trailer on page 5

25

for important information

on towing a trailer, towing safety rules, and
trailering tips.
