pillar (B-pillar). With the driver door open, you will find the label attached below the door lock post. The Tire and Loading Information label shows the number of occupant seating positions (1), and the maximum vehicle capacity weight (2) in kilograms and pounds.

The Tire and Loading Information label also shows the tire size of the original equipment tires (3) and the recommended cold tire inflation pressures (4). For more information on tires and inflation see Tires on page 10-38 and Tire Pressure on page 10-45.

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 Labellater in this section.

If this is a professional vehicle, a vehicle-specific Tire and Loading Information label will be provided and installed by the final body manufacturer. The Tire and Loading Information label should be attached to the B-pillar. See the final stage manufacturer's manual or contact them directly. The label shows the original tires installed on the professional vehicle, the recommended cold tire inflation pressures for those tires, and the vehicle's capacity weight.

“Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit–

1.Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should

never exceed XXX kg or

XXXlbs." on your vehicles 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

XXXlbs.

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.)
