Uniform Tire Quality Grading
is a tire information system devel­
oped by the United States Nation­
al Highway Traffic Safety Admin­
istration (NHTSA) that is designed
to help buyers make relat ive com­
parisons among tires . The UTQG
is not a safety rating and not a
guarantee that a tire will last for
a prescribed number of mi les
(kilometers) or perform in acer­
tain way. It simply gives t ire buy ­
e rs add itional informa tion to
combine with other considera ­
tions, such as p rice, brand loya lty
and dealer recommendations . Un­
der UTQG, tires are graded by t he
tire manufacturers in th ree areas:
treadwear, traction, and tempera ­
ture res istance. The UTQG infor­

U.S. DOT Tire Identification
Number (TIN)
This is the tire's "serial number".
It beg ins with the le tters "DO T"

the plant where it was manufac -

means that the tire was produced
in the 22nd week o f 2016 . The
other numbers are marketing co­ des that may or may not be used
by the t ire manufact urer. This in ­
formation is used to contact con­ sumers if a tire defec t req uires a

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 deflat ion 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 a re
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 tan k of
fuel, oil, coolant and other fluids
3 4 6
plus maximum load. The maxi­
mum load includes the number of
passengers that the veh icle is in­
tended to carry ("seating capaci­
ty") with an assumed weight o f
150 lbs (68 kg) for each passen­
ger at a designated seat ing pos i­
tion and the total weight of any luggage in the veh icle. If you tow
a trailer, the weight of the trailer
hitch and the tongue we ight 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 (inc luding
the weight of a trailer h itch 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 .

ance sticker label located on the
driver's side 8-pillar.
.&_ 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 - incl uding 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 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 343, fig. 2 76.
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 stick­
er ¢
page 343, fig. 2 76.
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.,,.

Emergency situations
@ Tips
Check carefully to make sure the hook-up is
secure before moving the car up the flatbed
truck ramp.
Raising the vehicle
Lifting with workshop hoist and with floor
jack
The vehicle may only be li~ed at the lifting
poin ts illus trated .
Fig . 298 Front lift ing point
Fig . 299 Rear lifti ng po int
• Read and heed WARNING c::> .&_ .
• Locate lifting po ints c::> fig . 298 and ¢ fig. 299.
• Adjus t lifting arms of workshop ho ist o r floo r
ja ck to match veh icle lif ting poin ts.
• Inse rt a rubber pa d between t he f loor jack/
w ork shop hoist and the lifting poin ts.
If you must lift your vehicle with a floor jack to
work underneath , be sure the vehicle is safely
s upported on stands intended for this purpo se.
Front lifting point
The lift ing po int is located on the floor pan re in­
forcement about at the same level as the jack

Lifting with vehicle jack
Refer to c::> page 363.
A WARNING
-To r educe th e risk of s erious inju ry an d vehi­
cle damage.
- Always lift the vehicle o nly at the special
workshop hoist and f loor jack lift points i l­
l ustrated
c::> fig. 298 and c::> fig. 299.
- Failure to lift the ve hicle a t these points
could ca use the vehicle to tilt o r fall from
a lift if there is a change in ve hicle weight
dist ribution and balance . This might hap­
pen, fo r example, whe n heavy compo ­
nen ts su ch as the eng in e b lock o r trans­
mi ssion are removed.
- Whe n removing heavy co mponen ts lik e
these, anchor vehicle to hois t or ad d c orre­
s p ondin g weights to maintai n the ce nt er of
g ra vity. Oth erw ise, the vehicle mig ht tilt or
slip off the hoist, ca using serio us persona l
in jur y.
(D Note
-Be aw are of the fo ll ow ing poi nts bef ore lift ­
ing the vehicle:
- The vehicle should never be lifted or
jacked up from underneath the engine oil pan, the transmission hous ing, 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
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. ..,.
