A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information

(B-pillar). With the driver’s door open, you will find

number of occupant seating positions (A), and the
maximum vehicle capacity weight (B) in kilograms
and pounds.

the recommended cold tire inflation pressures (D).

Rating (GAWR) for the front and rear axle, see
