illuminated. Before replacing bulbs,
turn off the lights and wait until the
bulbs cool down. Otherwise, there is
a risk of sustaining a burn injury.
CAUTION
Replace any bulb only with a new
bulb of the specified wattage. Using
a bulb of different wattage could
result in a fire.

The space between two adjacent
tread ribs.
.Innerliner
The layer(s) forming the inside sur-
face of a tubeless tire that contains
the inflating medium within the tire.
.Innerliner separation

cord material in the carcass.
.Intended outboard sidewall(1)The sidewall that contains a
whitewall, bears white lettering
or bears manufacturer, brand,
and/or model name molding that
is higher or deeper than the
same molding on the other side-

.Light truck (LT) tire
A tire designated by its manufac-
turer as primarily intended for use
on lightweight trucks or multipur-
pose passenger vehicles.
.Load rating
The maximum load that a tire is
rated to carry for a given inflation
pressure.
.Maximum inflation pressure
The maximum cold inflation pres-
sure to which a tire may be inflated.
.Maximum load rating
The load rating for a tire at the
maximum permissible inflation
pressure for that tire.
.Maximum loaded vehicle weight
The sum of:
(a)Curb weight(b)Accessory weight(c)Vehicle capacity weight(d)Production options weight.Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
The maximum cold inflation pres-
sure to which a tire may be inflated.
