Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and is more difficult to stop. Overloading can not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al­
so damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden
tire failure, including a blowout and sudden deflation that can
cause the vehicle to crash .
Your safety and that of your pas­ sengers also depends on making
sure that load limits are not ex­
ceeded. Vehicle load includes ev-
208
erybody and everything in and on
the vehicle. These load limits are
technically referred to as the vehi­ cle's
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
("GVWR").
The "GVWR" includes the weight of the basic vehicle , all factory in­
stalled accessories, a full tank of
fuel, oil, coolant and other fluids plus maximum load . The maxi ­
mum load includes the number of
passengers that the vehicle is in­
tended to carry ("seating capaci ­
ty") with an assumed weight of
150 lbs. (68 kg) for each passen­
ger at a designated seating posi­
tion and the total weight of any luggage in the vehicle . If you tow
a trailer, the weight of the trailer hitch and the tongue weight of
the loaded trailer must be includ- ed as part of the vehicle load. ..,.

The Gross Axle W eight R ating
("GAWR") is t he maximum load
that can be applied at each of the
vehicle's two axles .
The fact that there is an upper limit to your vehicle's Gross Vehi­
cle Weight Rating means that the
total weight of whatever is being
carr ied in the vehicle (including
the weight of a trailer hitch and
the tongue weight of the loaded
trailer) is limited. The more pas­
sengers in the vehicle or passen ­
gers who are heavier than the
standard weights assumed mean
that less weight can be carried as
luggage .
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
and the Gross Axle Weight Rating are listed on the safety compli­
ance sticker label located on the
driver's side B-pillar
¢ page 206,
fig .171 .
A WARNIN G
Overloading a vehicle can cause
loss of vehicle control, a crash
or other accident, serious per­
sonal injury , and even death.
-Carrying more weight than your vehicle was designed to carry will prevent the vehicle
from handling properly and in-
Wheels
crease the risk of the loss of
vehicle control.
-The brakes on a vehicle that has been overloaded may not
be able to stop the vehicle
within a safe distance .
- Tires on a vehicle that has
been overloaded can fail sud­
denly, including a blowout and
sudden deflation, causing loss
of control and a crash .
- Always make sure that the to­
ta l load being transported -
including the weight of a trail ­
er hitch and the tongue
weight of a loaded trailer -
does not make the vehicle
heavier than the vehicle's
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
Determining correct load
limit
Use the example below to calcu­
late the tota l weight of the pas­
sengers and luggage or other
things that you plan to transpor t
so that you can make sure that
your vehicle will not be overload- ed.

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
1. Locate the statement "THE
COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCU­ PANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR XXX
LBS"on your vehicle 's placard
(tire inflation pressure label)
¢ page 206 , fig. 171 .
2. Determine the combined
weight of the driver and pas ­
sengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
3 . Subtract the combined weight
of the driver and passengers
from
"XXX " kilograms or "XXX"
pounds shown on the sticker
¢ page 206, fig. 171.
4 . The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For ex­
ample, if the
" XXX" amount
equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lbs. passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity 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 ex-
210
c eed the available ca rgo and
luggage load capa city calculat­
ed in Step 4 .
6. If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehi­c le . Consult thi s manual to de­
termine how this reduce s the
available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle .
~check the tire sidewall
(¢ page 201 , fig. 169) to deter­
mine the designated load rating
for a spe cific tire.

Lifting with vehicle jack
Refer to c::> page 221.
A WARNING
- To reduce t he risk of serious injury and vehi­
cle damage .
- Always lift the vehicle only at the specia l
workshop hoist and f loor jack lift points il­
l ustrat ed
c::> fig . 194 and c> fig. 195.
-Failure to lift the veh icle a t these points
could cause the veh icle to tilt o r fall from
a lift if th ere is a cha nge in vehi cle we ight
dis tribu tio n and balance. T his m ight hap­
p en, for example, whe n he avy compone nts
s uch as the en gine block or tran smission

- W hen removing he avy componen ts like
these, anchor vehicle to hoist or ad d corre ­
spond ing weights to ma intain the center of
grav ity . Otherwise, the vehicle might ti lt o r
slip off the ho ist , causing se rious persona l
in jury .
(D Note
-Be aware of the following points before lift ­
ing the vehicle:
- The veh icle should never be lifted or
jacked up from underneath the engine oil pan, the transmis sion housing, the front
or rear axle or the body side members .
This could lead to serious damage .
- To avoid damage to the underbody or
chas sis frame , a rubber pad must be in­
serted between the floor ja ck and the lift
points.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist,
check that the vehicle weight doe s not
exceed the permissible lifting capacity of
the hoist.
- Before driving over a work shop hoist , en­
sure that the re is sufficient clearance be­
tween the hoist and low parts of the ve­
h icle.

Gross Axle Weight Rating
The Gross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum load that can be appli ed at each axle of the vehi ­
cle ¢& .
Vehicle capacity weight The vehicle capacity we ight (max. load) is listed
on the driver's side 8 -p ill ar.
_& WARNING
- T he actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the
front and rear axles should not exceed the
permissible weights, and their combination
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating .

Exceeding permissible weight ratings can
result in veh icle damage, acc idents and per­
sonal injury.
(D Note
- The vehicle capacity weight figures apply
when the load is distributed evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to the
rear axle as possible so that the vehicle 's
hand ling is not impaired .
- Do not exceed the maximum permissible
axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle
we ight. Always remember that the vehicle's
hand ling will be affected by the extra load.
T herefore, adjust your speed accordingly.
- Always observe local regulations .
