#
The load rating must be at least half the
gross axle weight rating of the vehicle.
Freightliner Sprinter recommends you
use the load-bearing index, which is
given in the vehicle documents.
#
Never overload the tires by exceeding the
maximum load.
Only vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of less
than 10,000 lbs (4,536 kg) have a Tire and Loading
Information placard on the B-pillar on the driver's
side.

The data shown in the illustration is sample
data.
The Tire and Loading Information placard shows:
R
The maximum number of seats indicates the
maximum number of occupants permitted to
travel in the vehicle.
R
The maximum permissible load equals the
gross weight of all vehicle occupants, the lug-
gage and cargo.
R
The recommended tire pressures for cold tires.
The recommended tire pressures apply to the
maximum permissible load and up to the maxi-
mum permissible speed of the vehicle.
Also observe the following information:
R
The information about permissible weights on
the vehicle identi cation plate ( / page 266).
R
The information about tire pressure on the tire
pressure table .

SStteps t eps to det o deter ermining t mining the corr he correct cr ect critical load itical load
The following steps have been developed as
required of all manufacturers under Title 49, Code
of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575 in accord-
ance with the "National Tra c and Motor Vehicle
Safety Act of 1966".
#
SSttep 1: ep 1: locate the statement, "The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should never
exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on the Tire and
Loading Information placard of your vehicle.
#
SSttep 2: ep 2: determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be traveling in
your vehicle.
#
SSttep 3: ep 3: subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
#
SSttep 4: ep 4: the resulting gure equals the permis-
sible amount of cargo and luggage load capa-
city. For example, if the "XXX" amount equals
1,400 lbs and there will be ve 150 lb passen-
gers in your vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs
(1,400 – 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs).
#
SSttep 5: ep 5: determine the combined weight of lug-
gage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
For safety reasons, this weight must not
exceed the cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in step 4.
#
SSttep 6: ep 6:
Even if you have calculated the total load carefully,
you should still make sure that the maximum per-
missible gross weight and the maximum gross axle
weight rating of your vehicle are not exceeded.
Information for this can be found on the vehicle
identi cation plate.
#
Weigh the laden vehicle, including driver, pas-
sengers and load, on a suitable vehicle weigh-
bridge.
The measured values must not exceed the
maximum permitted values listed on the vehi-
cle identi cation plate.
