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.

The "GVWR" includes the weight

sary. On a slippery surface such as tile, you
should use a non-slip pad (such as a rubber
mat)

• Find the marking on the sill that is closest to
the tire that will be changed

the marking, there is a lifting point on the side
sill for the vehicle jack*.
• Tu rn the vehicle jack* located u nder the mount
ing point on the sill to raise the jack until its
arm
(D c:> fig. 201 i s located under the desig
nated mou nting point .
• Align the vehicle jack* so the arm @engages in
the designated mounting point in the side sill
and the base @lies flat on the ground. The
base @must be direct ly under the mounting
point @.
• Continue raising the vehicle jack* until the
wheel lifts off the ground slightly.
A WARNING
- Make sure the vehicle jack* is stable. There
is a risk of injury when the ground is slick or
soft, because the vehicle jack* could slide or
sink.
- Only raise your vehicle w ith the vehicle jack*
provided by the factory. If you use a vehicle
jack designed for another vehicle, your vehi
cle can slide and cause injury .
- Pos ition the vehicle jack* only at the desig
nated mounting points on the side sill and
