GMC 2005 Automobile User Manual


 
Improved Ride with Light Load
(2500 Series Vehicles Only)
{CAUTION:
Do not overload your vehicle or underinflate
the tires. Overloading your vehicle or
underinflating the tires can cause rapid loss of
pressure and cause a serious crash. Only use
reduced rear tire pressure when your vehicle
meets the criteria for a light load.
If you have a 2500 Series vehicle with LT245/75R16E
size tires and you are operating your vehicle under
light-load conditions, you can improve ride quality by
adjusting both the front and rear cold tires to the
recommended pressure shown on the Improved
Ride label.
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.
