The Certification/Tire.iabel is found on the driver's door
edge, -above the door latch. The label shows the size of
your original. tires and the inflation pressures needed to
obtain the grass weight capacity of your vehicle. This is
called
the Gro-ss- Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The
GVWR
includes the weight of the vehicle, all occupants,
fuel,
cargo aild trailer tongue weight, if pulling a-trailer.
The C&tification/Tire. label
also tells you the maximum
weights for the front and-re,ar axl.es, called Grass Axle Weight
.Rating (GAWR).
To find Qut the actual loads on
your front and rear axles, you need to go to a we.igh
station and weigh your-vehicle. Your dealer
can help
you with this. Be sure to spread out your load equally on
bath sides of the centerline..
Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, or the
GAWR
hi either the front or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you- sho,uld spfead.
it
out.
Similar appearing vehicles. may have. differeQt GVWRs
and payloads. Please note the Certificatioflire. label sf
your truck or consult your dealer for additional details.
In the.case of a gudden stop or collision, things
carried in the bed of your truck could shift^
forward and come into the passenger area,
injuring you and others. 'If you put things in the
bed of your truck, you should rnake.su.re they are
properly
secured.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Inflation -- Tire Pressure
The CertificationlTire label, which is on the driver’s
door edge, .above .the door latch shows the correct
inflation pressures for your
tires when they’re cold.
“Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting
for at least
three hours
or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or
overinflation is all right. It’s not. If your tires
don’t
have enough air (underinflation), you can
get
the following:
Too much flexing
Toa much heat
@ Tire overloading
0 Bad wear
Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
NOTICE: (Continued)
NOTICE: (Continued)
If your tires have too much air (overinflation),
you can get the following:
9 Unusual wear
Bad handhg
0 Rough ride
1) Needless damage from road hazards.
When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more. Also, check the
tire pressure
of the spare tire.
If you have a compact
spare tire, it should be at 60 psi
(420 kPa).
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure.
You can’t tell if your tires are properly inflated
simply by looking at them. Radial tires may
look
properly inflated even when they’re underinflated,
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
