The Tire and Loading In form ation placard sho ws:
R The maximum number of seats indicates the
maximum number of occupants permitted to
tr ave l in theve hicle.
R The maximum permissible load equals the
gross weight of all vehicle occupants, the lug‐
ga ge and cargo.
R The recommended tire pressures for cold
tires. The recommended tire pressures apply
to the maximum permissible load and up to
th e maximum permissible speed of theve hi‐

term ining the maximum load The
following steps ha vebeen de veloped as
re qu ired of all manufacturers under Title 49,
Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part57 5 in
accordance with the "National Traf fic and Mo tor
Ve hicle Saf etyAc t of 1966." #
Step 1: locatethest atement, "The combined
we ight of occupants and cargo should ne ver
exc eed XXX kgor XXX lbs." on theTire and
Loading In form ation placard of your vehicle. #
Step 2: determ ine the combined weight of
th e driver and passengers that will be tra vel‐
ing in your vehicle. #
Step 3: subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX kgor
XXX lbs. #
Step 4: there sulting figure equals the per‐
missible amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity. Forex ample, if the "XXX" amount
equals 1,400 lbs and there will be five 150 lb
passengers in your vehicle, the amount of
av ailable cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs (1,400 – 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs). #
Step 5: determ ine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on theve hi‐
cle. For saf etyre asons, this we ight must not
exc eed the cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in step 4.
Even if you ha vecalculated thetot al load care‐
full y,yo u should still make sure that the maxi‐
mum permissible gross weight and the maximum
gross axle weight rating of your vehicle are not
exc eeded. Information forth is can be found on
th eve hicle identification 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 lis ted on theve hi‐
cle identification plate.

for illustrative purposes on ly.Make sure you
are using the actual load limit foryo ur vehicle

WARNING Risk of accident from tire
ove rheating and tire failure
The temp erature grade forth is tire is es tab‐
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla‐
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause excessive heat
build-up and possible tire failure. #
Obser vethere commended tire pres‐
sures and regular lych eck the tire pres‐
sure of all tires including the spare
wheel. #
Adjust the tire pressure as necessar y.The
temp erature grades are A (highest grade), B
and C. These relate toa tire's resis tance toheat
and its ability torelease heat on a specified test
wheel in laboratory tests under contro lled condi‐
tions. Sus tained high temp eratures can cause the
material of the tire todegenerate and reduce tire
life. In addition, excessively high temp eratures
can lead tosudden tire failure. Grade C refers to
a per form ance which all passenger vehicle tires
must exhibit, according totheU. S. Depa rtment
of Transpor tation's requ irements. Information on DOT and TIN (Tire Identifica‐
