StepsForDetermining CorrectLoadLimit
ûWü Locate thestatement “Thecombined weightofoccupants and
cargo should neverexceed XXXkgorXXX lbs.” onyour vehicle’s
placard.
ûXü Determine thecombined weightofthe driver andpassengers that
will beriding inyour vehicle.
ûYü Subtract thecombined weightofthe driver andpassengers from
XXX kgorXXX lbs.
ûZü The resulting figureequals theavailable amountofcargo and
luggage loadcapacity
.For example, if“XXX”

 amount equals1400lbs
and there willbefive 150lbpassengers inyour vehicle, theamount
of available cargoandluggage loadcapacity is650 lbs. (1400-750
(5x150) = 650 lbs.

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To
reduce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following:
•Maintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at under inflation or
over inflation. Pressure should be set at the level recommended by
vehicle manufacturer.
• Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular intervals.
• Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on
the sidewall of the tire.
• Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
potholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
• Never drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced
when 2/32 of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear
indicator molded in the tread grooves.
• Check your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects,
separations or bulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to dismount
a tire yourself. Change damaged tire with the spare and contact your
local authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
• Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the maximum
speed justified by driving conditions.
• To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire
rotation at regular intervals is required.
