Tire Information placard
The placard showing the load limit informa-
tion is located on the driver’s door B-pillar.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Vehicle

locate the heading “Vehicle Capacity
Weight” on this placard. The combined
weight of all occupants, cargo/luggage
and trailer tongue (if applicable) should
never exceed the weight listed next to

Seating capacity
The seating capacity gives you important
information on the number of occupants
that can be in the vehicle. Observe front
and rear seating capacity. Depending on
production date, your vehicle may be
equipped with placard Example A or plac-
ard Example B.
Your vehicle may not be equipped with
placard A nor other placard posting the
seating capacity. If this is the case, legal
requirements at time of production of your
vehicle did not require manufacturers to
post the seating capacity.
Never let more people ride in the vehicle
than there are designated seating posi-
tions and seat belts available. Be sure
everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly
restrained with a separate seat belt.
