driver’s door. It tells you the gross weight capacity
of your vehicle, called
the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight
of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front
or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Don’t carry
more than
185 lbs. (84 kg) in your trunk.

The Tire-Loading Information label which is located on the driver’\
s door
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 a mile.
Eldorudo (270 hp)
k€ you’ll be driving at speeds higher than 100 mph (160 km/h) where it is
legal, raise the ‘‘mldYy inflation pressure of each tire to 35 psi (240 Wa).
When you end this very high speed driving, reduce the “cold” inflation
pressures to those listed on the Tire-Loading Information label.

NOTICE:
.. - , .., .. . **:. 7 ' . ..._ ^ . ,
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:
Too much flexing.,
Too much heat
Tire overloading
0 Badwear
Bad handling
0 Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air (overinflation), you can ger:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
0 Needless damage from road hazards.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires will not tell
you the pressure,
especially
if you have radial tires -- which may look properly' inflated even
if they're underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
When to Check Check your tires once a month or more.
The Eldorado tire pressures are:
0 Front - 28 psi (190 Pa)
Rear - 26 psi (180 kPa)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ELDORADO recommended tire size is:

Optional Michelin XW4 Whitewall (P225/60R16)

Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended in the Maintenance Schedule.
I
Use this rotation
pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the front and rear inflation
pressure
as shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain
