transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this

C190G03JM-AATCompliance Label
The compliance label is located on the
driver's side of the center pillar outer
panel.
The label shows the maximum allow-
able weight of the fully loaded vehicle.
This is called the GVWR (Gross Ve-
hicle Weight Rating). The GVWR in-
cludes the weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, fuel and cargo.
C190G01A
Refer to your vehicle’s tire and loading
information label for specific informa-
tion about your vehicle’s capacity
weight and seating positions. The com-
bined weight of the driver, passengers
and cargo should never exceed your
vehicle’s capacity weight.

WARNING:
o Never exceed the GVWR for your
vehicle, the GAWR for either the
front or rear axle and vehicle ca-
pacity weight. Exceeding these
ratings can cause an accident or
vehicle damage. You can calcu-
late the weight of your load by
weighing the items (or people)
before putting them in the ve-
hicle. Be careful not to overload
your vehicle.
o Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR, either the
maximum front or rear GAWR
and vehicle capacity weight. If
you do, parts, including tires on
your vehicle can break, and it can
change the way your vehicle
handles and braking ability. This
could cause you to lose control
and crash. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle. 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 the
left and right sides of the centerline.
!
WARNING:
o Overloading your vehicle can
cause heat buildup in your
vehicle's tires and possible tire
failure that could lead to a crash.
o Overloading your vehicle can
cause increased stopping dis-
tances that could lead to a crash.
o A crash resulting from poor han-
dling vehicle damage, tire failure,
or increased stopping dis-
tances could result in serious
injury or death.

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
ratings. 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
anything else – they move 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 strike 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 in-
side the vehicle, secure it.
o Do not drive with a seat folded
down unless necessary.

1. Manufacturer or Brand name
o Manufacturer or Brand name is
shown.
2. Tire size (example: P175/70R14)
o The "P" indicates the tire is de-
signed for passenger vehicles. A
"T" is the designation for a tempo-
rary spare tire.
o Three-digit number (175): This
number gives the width in millime-
ters of the tire from sidewall edge
to sidewall edge.
o Two-digit number (70): 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 (14): This num-
ber is the wheel or rim diameter in
inches.
o Two (or three) digit number (84):
This number is the tire's load in-
dex. It is a measurement of how
much weight each tire can sup-
port.o T: Speed Rating. The speed rat-
ing 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 "De-
partment of Transportation". The
symbol can be placed above, be-
low or to the left or right of the Tire
Identification Number. Indicates
tire is in compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

identification mark
o 2nd two-digit code: Tire size
o 3rd three-digit code: Tire type code

o 4th four-digit code: Date of Manu-
facture
o Four numbers represent the week

rial
The number of layers or plies of
rubbercoated fabric in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate
the materials in the tire, which in-
clude steel, nylon, polyester, and
others. The letter "R" means radial
ply construction; the letter "D" means
diagonal or bias ply construction;
and the letter "B" means belted-bias
ply construction.
5. Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
This number is the greatest amount
of air pressure that should be put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maxi-
mum permissible inflation pressure.

mation label for recommended infla-
tion pressure.
