Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit
(1)Locate the statement "The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX pounds'' on your
vehicle's placard.
(2)Determine the combined weight of
the driver and passengers that will be
riding in your vehicle.
(3)Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX
kilograms or XXX pounds.
(4)The resulting figure equals the avail-
able amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity. For example, if the
"XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs, and
there will be five 150 lb. passengers
in your vehicle, the amount of avail-
able cargo and luggage load capac-
ity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) =
650 lbs.)(5)Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity calcu-
lated 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 re-
duces the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity of your vehicle.

Refer to your vehicle’s tire and loading
information label for specific informa-
tion about your vehicle’s capacity weight
and seating positions. The combined
weight of the driver, passengers and
cargo should never exceed your
vehicle’s capacity weight.
!
This label also tells you the maximum
weights that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out the
actual loads on your front and rear
axles, you need to go to a weigh station
and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can
help you with this. Be sure to spread out
your load equally on both sides of the
centerline.
WARNING:
o Never exceed the GVWR for your
vehicle, or the GAWR for either the
front or rear axle.
o Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR, or either
the maximum front or rear GAWR.
If you do, parts on your vehicle
can break, and it can change the
way your vehicle handles. This
could cause you to lose control
and crash. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.
C190G01L-AATCompliance LabelThe compliance label is located on the
driver's side of the center piller outer
panel.
The label shows the size of your original
tires and the inflation pressures needed
to obtain the gross weight capacity of
your vehicle. This is called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the ve-
hicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.

NOTE:
o Overloading your vehicle may
cause damage. Repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do
not overload your vehicle.
o Using heavier suspension com-
ponents to get added durability
might not change your weight rat-
ings. Ask your dealer to help you
load your vehicle the right way.
The label will help you decide how much
cargo and installed equipment your
vehicle can carry.
If you carry items inside your vehicle –
like suitcases, tools, packages, or any-
thing else – they more as fast as the
vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn
quickly, or if there is a crash, the items
will keep going and can cause an injury
if they strikes the driver or a passenger.WARNING:
Items you carry inside your vehicle
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
o Put things in the cargo area of
your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
o Never stack items, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle above the tops
of the seats.
o Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
o When you carry something inside
the vehicle, secure it.
o Do not drive with a seat folded
down unless necessary.

Remove the installation bolt to remove
the spare tire. To replace the spare tire
in its storage compartment, tighten the
bolt firmly with your fingers until there is
no more play in the spare tire.

Spare Tire PressureD040A01L-AATThe following instructions for the FULL
SIZE spare tire should be observed:
Check inflation pressure as soon as
practical after installing the spare tire,
and adjust to the specified pressure.
The tire pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the speci-
fied pressure while the tire is stored.TIRE SIZE

D050A01L-AATIf a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the car slow down while
driving straight ahead. Do not apply
the brakes immediately or attempt to
pull off the road as this may cause a
loss of control. When the car has
slowed to such a speed that it is safe
to do so, brake carefully and pull off
the road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided high-
way, do not park in the median area
between the two traffic lanes.
2. When the car is stopped, turn on your
emergency hazard flashers, set the
parking brake and put the transaxle in
"P".
3. Have all passengers get out of the car.
Be sure they all get out on the side of
the car that is away from traffic.
4. Change the tire following the instruc-
tions provided on the following pages.

aiming1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press
the front bumper & rear bumper down sev-
eral times. Place vehicle at a distance of 118
in. (3m) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for
full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and
spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the driver
or equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
4. Clean the head light lenses and turn on the
headlights (Low beam).
5. Open the hood.
6. Draw the vertical line (through the center of
each headlight) and the horizontal line
(through the center of each headlight) on the
aiming screen.
And then, draw a parallel line at 0.8in.(21mm.)
under the horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the
parallel line with a phillips screwdriver -

RECOMMENDED INFLATION
PRESSURESI030A03L-AATTire label located on the driver's door
edge gives the cold tire pressures rec-
ommended for your vehicle with the
original tire size, the number of people
that can be in your vehicle and vehicle
capacity weight.
I030A01L
These pressures were chosen to pro-
vide the most satisfactory combination
of ride comfort, tire wear and stability
under normal conditions. Tire pressures
should be checked at least monthly.
Proper tire inflation pressures should
be maintained for these reasons:
!
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires
are cold. That is, after the car has
been parked for at least three hours
and hasn't been driven more than
one mile or 1.6 km since starting
up.WARNING:
o Lower-than-recommended tire
pressures cause uneven tread
wear, poor handling, pour fuel
economy or tire failure.
o Higher-than-recommended tire
pressures can cause poor han-
dling, uneven tread wear or tire
failure.

1. Manufacturer or Brand name
o Manufacturer or Brand name is
shown.
2. Tire size (example: P205/60R 16
94H)
o The "P" indicates the tire is de-
signed for passenger vehicles. A
"T" is the designation for a tempo-
rary spare tire. (If installed)
o Three-digit number (205): This num-
ber gives the width in millimeters
of the tire from sidewall edge to
sidewall edge.
o Two-digit number (60): This num-
ber, known as the aspect ratio,
gives the tire's ratio of height to
width.
o R: The "R" stands for radial.
o Two-digit number (16): This number
is the wheel or rim diameter in inches.
o Two (or three) digit number (94):
This number is the tire's load in-
dex. It is a measurement of how
much weight each tire can sup-
port.o H: Speed Rating. The speed rating
denotes the speed at which a tire is
designed to be driven for extended
periods of time. The ratings range
from "A" to "Z" (98 to 186 MPH).
3. TIN (Tire Identification Number) for
new tire (example: DOT XX XX XXX
XXXX)
o DOT: Abbreviation for the "Depart-
ment of Transportation". The sym-
bol can be placed above, below or

Federal law requires tire manufacturers
to place standardized information on
the sidewall of all tires. This information
identifies and describes the fundamen-
tal characteristics of the tire and also
provides the tire identification number
(TIN) for safety standard certification.
The TIN can be used to identify the tire
in case of a recall.I030B01L-AATTIRE SIDEWALL LABELING
