never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on the Tire and Loading Information
placard. The combined weight of occupants, cargo/luggage and
trailer tongue weight (if applicable) should never exceed the weight
referenced here.
Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit:
(1) Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and
ca
rgo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's
placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that
wi
ll be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from
XX
X kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage
lo
ad capacity. For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs. and there
will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400-750 (5x150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded
on
the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be
tr
ansferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
Metric Example For Load Limit
For example, if “XXX” amount equals 635 kg and there will be five 68 kg
pa
ssengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 295 kg (635-340 (5x68) = 295 kg) as shown in step 4.
NOTE:
• If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. The following table shows examples on
how to calculate total load, cargo/luggage, and towing capacities of
your vehicle with varying seating configurations and number and
size of occupants. This table is for illustration purposes only and
may not be accurate for the seating and load carrying capacity of
your vehicle.
• For the following example, the combined weight of occupants and
c
argo should never exceed 865 lbs (392 kg).

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To
re
duce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following:
• Maintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at under inflation
o
r over inflation. Pressure should be set at the level recommended
by vehicle manufacturer.
• Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular inter -
v
als.
• Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on
t
he sidewall of the tire.
• Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
p
otholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
• Never drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced
w
hen 2/32" of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear
indicator molded in the tread grooves.
• Check your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects,
s
eparations or bulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to
dismount a tire yourself. Change damaged tire with the spare and
contact a local authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
• Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the
m
aximum speed justified by driving conditions.
• To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire rota -
t
ion at regular intervals is required.
