Tire and Loading Information Label

The Tire and Loading Information label is attached to
the vehicle’s center pillar (B-pillar). With the driver’s door
open, you will find the label attached below the door
lock post (striker). The tire and loading information label
lists the number of occupant seating positions (A),
and the maximum vehicle capacity weight (B) in
kilograms and pounds.

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 5-53
and Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-60.

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 pounds” 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 kilograms or XXX pounds.
