specified load limit as indicated on the Tire

driver's door B-pillar. Overloading the tires
can overheat them, possibly causing a
blowout. Overloading the tires can also result
in handling or steering problems, or brake

Two instruction labels on your vehicle show
the maximum possible load.

is on the B-pillar on the driver's side. The

shows the maximum possible number of
occupants and the maximum possible
vehicle load. It also contains details of the
tire sizes and corresponding pressures
for tires mounted at the factory.
(2) The vehicle identification plate is on the
B-pillar on the driver's side. The vehicle
identification plate informs you of the
gross vehicle weight rating. It is made up
of the vehicle weight, all vehicle
occupants, the fuel and the cargo. You
can also find information about the

front and rear axle.
The maximum gross axle weight rating is
the maximum weight that can be carried

exceed the maximum load or the
maximum gross axle weight rating for the
front or rear axle.
