Chevrolet 2005 Automobile User Manual


 
An example of the Improved Ride label is shown here.
This label is attached to the lower section of the
driver’s door edge, for 2500 Series vehicles only.
Operating your vehicle with a light load means:
The total weight of occupants in your vehicle is less
than the total seating capacity number your vehicle
was designed to carry multiplied by 150 lbs (68 kg).
The total seating capacity number is on the
Tire and Loading Information label.
No more than 200 lbs (91 kg) of cargo, which must
be secured in the cargo area.
No trailer is attached to your vehicle.
You have not added any additional equipment to
your vehicle, like a truck cap or tool box.
The vehicle load capacity and the rear axle load
capacity are reduced when the tire pressure is lowered
to the amount recommended for improved ride.
Before operating your vehicle with passengers or cargo
greater than a light-load, you must inflate the rear
tires to the recommended cold tire pressure shown on
the Tire and Loading Information Label. See Loading
Your Vehicle on page 4-52.
