comparisons among tires. The
UTQG is not a safety rating and not a guarantee that a tire will
last for a prescribed number of
miles (kilometers) or perform in a
certain way. It simply gives tire
buyers additional information to
combine with other considera ­
tions, such as price, brand loyalty
and dealer recommendations. Un ­
der UTQG, tires are graded by the
tire manufacturers in three areas:
treadwear, traction, and tempera ­
ture resistance. The UTQG i nfor­

U.S. DOT Tire Identification
Number (TIN)
T his is the tire's "serial number".
It begins with the letters "DOT"
and indicates that the tire meets
all federal standards. The nex t
two numbers or letters indicate
the plant where it was manufac­
tured, and the last four numbers represent the week and year of
manufacture. For example,
DOT ... 2216 ...
means that the tire was produced
in the 22nd wee k of 2016. The
other numbers are marketing co­
des that may or may not be used
3 4 0
by the t ire manufacturer . This in­
formation is used to contact con­
sumers if a tire defect requ ires a
recall.
Vehicle capacity weight
means the rated cargo and lug­
gage load pl us 150 lbs. (68 k ilo ­
grams) times the vehicle's desig­ na ted seating capacity .
Vehicle maximum load on the
tire
means that load on an individual
tire that is determined by distrib ­
uting to each axle its sha re of the
maximum loaded vehic le we ight
and dividing
by two.
Vehicle normal load on the tire
means that load on an individual
tire that is determined by d istrib­
ut ing to each axle its share of the
curb weight, accessory weight,
and normal occupan t weight (dis­
tr ibuted in accordance with
¢ ta­
ble on page 346) and d ividing by
two.

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 ("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 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.

are listed on the safety compli­
ance sticker on the driver's side B­ pillar respectively on the front
end of the driver's door.
& 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 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 344, fig. 277.
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 344, fig. 2 77.
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
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 <=:>
fig. 300. 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
<=:>fig . 301 .
Lifting with vehicle jack
Refer to <=:> page 364.
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 <=:>
fig. 300 and <=:> fig. 301.
- Fa ilure to lift the vehicle at these poin ts
could cause the vehicle to til t 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
t h ese , a nch or 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-
378
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 .

Weights
Gross V ehicl e We ight Rat ing
The G ross Vehicle Weight Ra ting (GVWR), and
the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for front
and rear are listed on a sticker on the driver's side
B-pillar respective ly on the front end of the driv­
er's door.
The G ross Vehicle Weight Rating includes the

and coolant, plus maximum load, which includes
passenger weight (150 lbs/68 kg per designated
seating position) and luggage
we ight¢ &..
Gros s Ax le Weight Rating
The Gross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum
load that can be applied at each axle of the vehi­
cle¢&_ .
Vehicle c apacity w eight
The vehicle capacity we ight (max . load) is listed
on the driver 's side B -p ill ar respectively on the
front end of the driver's door.
_& WARNING
-The actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the
front and rear axles should not exceed the
permissible weights, and their comb inat ion
must not exceed the Gross Veh icle Weight
Rating.
- Exceeding permiss ible weight ratings can
result in veh icle damage, acc idents and pe r­
sonal i njury .
Dimensions
(D Note
-The veh icle capacity weight figures apply
when the load is d istr ibuted evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transport ing a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to the
rea r axle as possible so that the ve hicle's
hand ling is not impaired .
- Do not exceed the maximum perm iss ible
axle loads or the maximum gross veh icle
we ight. Always remember that the ve hicle's
hand ling will be affected by the extra load.
Th erefore, a djust your speed acco rdingly.
- Always observe local regulations.
