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
erybody and everything in and on
the vehicle. These load limits are
technically referred to as the vehi­ cle's
Gross Vehicle Weight Rat­
ing
("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 ..

Wheels
plus maximum load . The maxi­
mum load includes the number of
passengers that the vehicle is in­
tended to carry ("seat ing 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 Weight Rating
(" GAWR") is the 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
carried 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
330
are listed on the safety compli­
ance sticker label located on the
driver's side B-pillar
~ page 327,
fig . 255 .
& WARNING ~ -
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 increase 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 tal 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 total weight of the pas­
sengers and luggage or other
things that you plan to transport
so that you can ma ke 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 pla card
(tire inflation pre ssure l abel)
¢ page 327, fig. 256.
2 . Determine the combined
weight of the drive r and pas­
s engers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
3 . Subtra ct the combined weight
of the driver and passengers
from
" XXX" kilograms or "XXX"
pounds shown on the stick­
er ¢
page 32 7, fig . 256.
4. The re sulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For ex-
; ample, if the
"XXX" amount
N
~ equals 1400 lbs. and there will 0 0
3 Wheels
be five 1 SO lbs. pa ssengers in
your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity i s 650 lb s.
(1400-750 (5 X 150) = 650
lbs.)
5. Determin e the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely ex­
ceed the available cargo and luggage load capa city cal culat­
ed in Step
4 .
6.
If your vehi cle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your ve­
hicle. Con sult thi s manual to
determine how this reduces
the available cargo and lug­ gage load capacity of your vehi­
cle.
..,.Check the tire sidewall
(¢ page 317 , fig. 253) to deter­
mine the designated load rating
for a specific tire.

Emergency situations
If you must lift your vehicle with a floor jack to
work underneath, be sure the vehicle is safely
supported on stands intended for this purpose .
Front lifting point
T he lift ing po int is loc ated on the floo r pan re in ­
for cement about at the same leve l as t he jack
mounting po int r=;,
fig. 279. Do not lift the veh i­
cle at the vertical sill re inforcement.
Rear lifting point
T he lift ing po int is loca ted on the vert ica l re in­
for cement of the lower sill fo r t he on b oard ja ck
r=:> fig. 280 .
Lifting with vehicle jack
Refer to r=;, page 347.
A WARNING
- To reduce the risk of ser io us injury and vehi­
cl e d amage.
- Always lift t he ve hicle only at the special
wo rkshop ho ist and floo r jack lift po ints il­
lustrated
r=;, fig . 279 a nd r=;, fig. 280.
- Fa ilure to lift the vehicle at these poin ts
could cause the vehicle to tilt or fa ll from
a lift if there is a change in vehicle weight
distr ibut io n and balance. This might hap­
pen, for exam ple, when heavy co mpo­
n e nts s uch as the engine b lock or tra ns­
mi ssio n are removed.
- When removing heavy components like
th ese, a nchor vehicle to hoist o r add cor re ­
s pon ding weigh ts t o ma in ta in t he ce nte r o f
gr avit y. Ot herwise, t he ve hicl e migh t tilt or
s lip
off the hoist, causing ser ious perso na l
injury .
(D Note
- Be awa re o f th e followi ng poi nts before li ft­
in g th e ve hicle:
-The vehicle should never be lifted or
jacked up from underneath the engine oil
pan, the transmiss ion housing, the front
or rear axle or the body side members .
This could lead to serious damage.
- To avoid damage to the underbody or
chassis frame, a rubber pad must be in-
360
serted between the floor jack and the lift
points.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist ,
check that the vehicle weight does not
exceed the permissible lifting capacity of
the hoist.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist , en­
sure that there is sufficient clearance be­
tween the hoist and low parts of the ve­
hicle .

Tech nical data
Gross Axle Weight Rating
The G ross Ax le We ight Rating is the max imum
load that can be applied at each axle of the vehi ­
cle ¢& .
Vehicle capacity weight The vehicle capacity we ight (max. load) is l isted
on the front end of the dr iver's door.
_& WARNING
- T he ac tual Gross Axle Weight Rating a t the
front and rear axles sho uld not exceed the
permissible weights, and their combination
must not exceed the Gross Veh icle Weight
Rating.

transporting a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to the
r ear axle as possible so that the vehicle's
handling is not impaired.
- Do not exceed the maximum permissible
axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle
weight. Always remember tha t the vehicle's
h andling w ill be affe cted by the ext ra load.
T herefo re, adjust yo ur sp eed a ccording ly.
- Always obse rve loca l reg ulations.
