Maximum tire inflation pressure

G

Warning!

Never exceed the maximum tire inflation

pressure. Follow recommended tire inflation

pressures.

Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires

wear excessively and/or unevenly, adversely

affect handling and fuel economy, and are

more likely to fail from being overheated.

Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires can

adversely affect handling and ride comfort,

wear unevenly, increase stopping distance,

and result in sudden deflation (blowout)

because they are more likely to become

punctured or damaged by road debris,

potholes etc.

inflation.

Loading the vehicle

Two labels on your vehicle show how much

weight it may properly carry.

(1) The Tire and Loading Information placard

can be found on the driver’s door

B-pillar. This placard tells you important

information about the number of people

that can be in the vehicle and the total

weight that can be carried in the vehicle.

It also contains information on the proper

size and recommended tire inflation

pressures for the original equipment tires

on your vehicle.

(2) The certification label, also found on the

driver’s door B-pillar. It tells you about the

gross weight capacity of your vehicle,

called the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

(GVWR). The GVWR includes the weight

of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and

cargo. The certification label also tells

you about the front and rear axle weight

capacity, called the Gross Axle Weight

Rating (GAWR).

The GAWR is the total allowable weight

that can be carried by a single axle (front

or rear). Never exceed the GVWR or

GAWR for either the front axle or rear

axle.
