A vehicle specific Tire and

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. The Tire and Loading

positions (A), and the maximum
vehicle capacity weight (B) in
kilograms and pounds.
The Tire and Loading

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 9‑48 and Tire
Pressure on page 9‑57.

Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
and the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for the front and
rear axle. See “Certification
