Payload
The payload capacity is shown on the CertificatiodTire
label. This
is the maximum load capacity that your
vehicle can carry. Be sure to include the weight of the
occupants as part
of your load. If you added any
accessories or equipment after your vehicle
left the
factory, remember to subtract the weight
of these things
from the payload. Your retailer can help you with this.
Add-on Equipment
When you carry removable items, you may need to put a
limit on how many people
you carry inside your vehicle.
Be sure to weigh your vehicle before you buy and install
the new equipment.
Your warranty doesn’t cover parts or
components that fail because of overloading.
Towing a Trailer
CAUTION:
If you don’t use the correct equipment and drive
properly, you can lose control when you pull a
trailer. For example,
if the trailer is too heavy, the
brakes may not work well
-- or even at all. You
and your passengers could be seriously injured.
Pull a trailer only
if you have followed all the
steps in this section. Ask your Oldsmobile retailer
for advice and information about towing a trailer with your vehicle.
