Driving your vehicle
Tire and loading information label
The label located on the driver's door sill
gives the original tire size, cold tire pres-
sures recommended for your vehicle, the
number of people that can be in your
vehicle and vehicle capacity weight.
Vehicle capacity weight:
385 kg (849 lb)
Vehicle capacity weight is the maximum
combined weight of occupants and
cargo. If your vehicle is equipped with a
trailer, the combined weight includes the
tongue load.

Seating capacity:
Total : 5 persons
(Front seat : 2 persons, Rear seat : 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum number
of occupants including a driver, your
vehicle may carry.
However, the seating capacity may be
reduced based upon the weight of all of
the occupants, and the weight of the
cargo being carried or towed.
Do not overload the vehicle as there is a
limit to the total weight, or load limit
including occupants and cargo, the vehi-
cle can carry.
Towing capacity:
We do not recommend using this
vehicle for trailer towing.
Cargo capacity:
The cargo capacity of your vehicle will
increase or decrease depending on the
weight and the number of occupants and
the tongue load, if your vehicle is
equipped with a trailer.
Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit -
1. Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.'' on
your vehicle's placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be rid-
ing in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the avail- able amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity. For example, if the
"XXX" amount equals 635 kg (1400
lbs.) and there will be five 68 kg (150
lbs.) passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 295 kg (650 lbs).
(635-340 (5 x 68) = 295 kg or 1400-
750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.) 5. Determine the combined weight of lug-
gage and cargo being loaded on the
vehicle. That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity calculated in Step
4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be trans-
ferred to your vehicle. Consult this
manual to determine how this reduces
the available cargo and luggage load
capacity of your vehicle.

The compact spare should be inflat-
ed to 420 kPa (60 psi).
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as necessary. When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
Under no circumstances should you
exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higher
speed could damage the tire.
Ensure that you drive slowly enough for the road conditions to avoid all
hazards. Any road hazard, such as a
pothole or debris, could seriously
damage the compact spare.
Any continuous road use of this tire could result in tire failure, loss of
vehicle control, and possible per-
sonal injury.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi- mum load rating or the load-carry-
ing capacity shown on the sidewall
of the compact spare tire.
Avoid driving over obstacles. The compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a con-
ventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately
25 mm (1 inch), which could result
in damage to the vehicle.
Do not take this vehicle through an automatic car wash while the com-
pact spare tire is installed. The compact spare tire should not
be installed on the front axle if the
vehicle must be driven in snow or
on ice.
Do not use the compact spare tire on any other vehicle because this
tire has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
The compact spare tire’s tread life is shorter than a regular tire. Inspect
your compact spare tire regularly
and replace worn compact spare
tires with the same size and design,
mounted on the same wheel.
The compact spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor
should standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers or trim rings be used
with the compact spare wheel. If
such use is attempted, damage to
these items or other car compo-
nents may occur.
Do not use more than one compact spare tire at a time.
Do not tow a trailer while the com- pact spare tire is installed.
WARNING - Spare tire
Do not operate your vehicle on
this compact spare at speeds
over 80 km/h (50 mph). The
compact spare tire is for emer-
gency use only. The original tire
should be repaired or replaced
as soon as is possible to avoid
failure of the spare.

Temperature -A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of perform-
ance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law. Tire terminology and definitions
Air Pressure:
The amount of air
inside the tire pressing outward on
the tire. Air pressure is expressed in
kilopascal (kPa) or pounds per
