Tire and Loading Information Label
The Tire and Loading Information label
provides:
•
The maximum number of occupant
seating positions.
•
The maximum vehicle capacity weight.
•
The size of the original tires.
•
The cold inflation pressures for the
original front and rear tires. These
pressures are recommended to optimize
ride and handling characteristics.
Never change this label, even if you use
different tires in the future.
Note: If Model X is loaded to its full capacity,
double check all tires to ensure they are
inflated to their recommended pressure levels.
Warning: Tire pressures printed on the
Tire and Loading Information label DO
NOT APPLY to towing. When towing, tire
pressures must be increased. For
information about the tire pressures
required when towing, see
Statutory Plate
In addition to the VIN, the Statutory Plate
provides:
•
GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The
maximum allowable total mass of Model X.
This is calculated as the weight of
Model X, all passengers, fluids, and cargo.
•
GAWR - Gross Axle Weight Rating for the
front and rear axles. The GAWR is the
maximum distributed weight that each
axle can support.
Caution: To prevent damage, never load
Model X so that it is heavier than GVWR
or exceeds the individual GAWR weights.
Calculating Load Limits
1.
Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg” on the “Tire and
Loading Information” label.
2. Determine the combined weight of all
occupants that will ride in the vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the
occupants from XXX kg (see Step 1).
4. The resulting figure equals the available
cargo load capacity. For example, if the
“XXX” amount equals 635 kg and there
will be five 68 kg passengers in the
vehicle, the amount of available cargo
capacity is 295 kg (635
‑
340
(5 x 68) = 295 kg).
5. Determine the combined cargo weight
being loaded on the vehicle. That weight
must not exceed the available cargo load
capacity calculated in Step 4.
Warning: Trunks are the preferred places
to carry objects. In a collision, or during
hard braking and sharp turns, loose items
in the cabin could injure occupants.
Example Load Limit Calculations
How much cargo Model X can carry depends
on the number and weight of passengers. The
following calculated load limit examples
assume passengers weigh 68 kg. If passengers
weigh more or less, available cargo weight
decreases or increases respectively.
