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
XXX lbs." 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 kg or XXX lbs.
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.)
