Tire and Loading Information Label
A vehicle specific Tire and Loading
Information label is attached to the vehicle’s
center pillar (B-pillar). With the driver’s door open,
you will find the label attached below the door lock
post (striker). The Tire and Loading Information
label shows the number of occupant seating
positions (A), and the maximum vehicle capacity
weight (B) in kilograms and pounds.
The Tire and Loading Information label also shows
the tire size of the original equipment tires (C) and
the recommended cold tire inflation pressures (D).
For more information on tires and inflation see
Tires on page 5-63 and Inflation - Tire Pressure
on page 5-72.
There is also important loading information on the
Certification label. It tells you the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for the front and rear axle; see
“Certification Label” later in this section.

XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver
