&Tire care–maintenance and
safety practices.
Check on a daily basis that the
tires are free from serious damage,
nails, and stones. At the same time,
check the tires for abnormal wear.
.
Inspect the tire tread regularly
and replace the tires before their
tread wear indicators become visi-
ble. When a tire’s tread wear in-
dicator becomes visible, the tire is
worn beyond the acceptable limit
and must be replaced immediately.
With a tire in this condition, driving
at even low speeds in wet weather
can cause the vehicle to hydro-
plane. Possible resulting loss of
vehicle control can lead to an
accident.
.
Replace any damaged or un-
evenly worn tires at the time of
rotation. For information about the
tire rotation order, refer to“
Tire
rotation”F11-36.
After tire rotation,
adjust the tire pressures and make
sure the wheel nuts are correctly
tightened. For information aboutthe tightening torque and tighten-
ing sequence for the wheel nuts,
refer to“
Flat tires”F9-5.
&Vehicle load limit–how to
determineThe load capacity of your vehicle is
determined by weight, not by avail-
able cargo space. The load limit of
your vehicle is shown on the vehicle
placard attached to the driver’s side
B-pillar. Locate the statement“The
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg
or XXX lbs”on your vehicle’s
placard.
The vehicle placard also shows
seating capacity of your vehicle.
The total load capacity includes the
total weight of driver and all pas-
sengers and their belongings, any
cargo, any optional equipment such
as a roof rack or bike carrier, etc.
Therefore cargo capacity can be
calculated by the following method.
Cargo capacity = Load limit (totalweight of occupants + total weight
of optional equipment)
For information about vehicle load-
ing, refer to“
Loading your vehicle”
F8-11.CAUTION
Your vehicle is neither de-
signed nor intended to be
used for trailer towing. There-
fore, never tow a trailer with
your vehicle.
