WARNING

Overloaded tires can overheat, causing a

blowout. Overloaded tires can also impair the

steering and driving characteristics and lead

to brake failure. There is a risk of accident.
Observe the load rating of the tires. The load

rating must be at least half of the GAWR of

your vehicle. Never overload the tires by

exceeding the maximum load.

Two instruction labels on your vehicle show

the maximum possible load.
(1) The Tire and Loading Information placard

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

Tire and Loading Information placard

shows the maximum permissible number

of occupants and the maximum

permissible 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

maximum gross axle weight rating on the

front and rear axle.
The maximum gross axle weight rating is

the maximum weight that can be carried

by one axle (front or rear axle). Never

exceed the maximum load or the

maximum gross axle weight rating for the

front or rear axle.
