Tire and Loading Information Label
Label Example
A vehicle-specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the center pillar (B-pillar). The label shows:
- Number of occupant seating positions (1)
- Maximum vehicle capacity weight (2) in kilograms and pounds
- Original equipment tire size (3)
- Recommended cold tire inflation pressures (4)
For more information, see Tires and Tire Pressure sections of the manual. Important loading information is also on the Certification/Tire label, including Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for front and rear axles.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
- Locate the statement: "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on the vehicle placard.
- Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers.
- Subtract this weight from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
- The result equals the available cargo and luggage load capacity.
- Ensure luggage and cargo do not exceed available capacity.
- If towing a trailer, consult the manual to see how it reduces cargo capacity.
Examples
Example 1
- Maximum Vehicle Capacity Weight = 453 kg (1,000 lbs)
- Subtract Occupant Weight 68 kg × 2 = 136 kg (300 lbs)
- Available Occupant and Cargo Weight = 317 kg (700 lbs)
Example 2
- Vehicle Capacity Weight = 453 kg (1,000 lbs)
- Subtract Occupant Weight 68 kg × 5 = 340 kg (750 lbs)
- Available Cargo Weight = 113 kg (250 lbs)
Example 3
- Maximum Vehicle Capacity Weight = 453 kg (1,000 lbs)
- Subtract Occupant Weight 91 kg × 5 = 455 kg (1,000 lbs)
