Inflation Pressure

This is the cold tire inflation pressure for your vehicle for

all loading conditions up to full GAWR.

Curb Weight

The curb weight of a vehicle isdefined as the total weight

of thevehicle with allfluids, includingvehicle fuel, atfull

capacity conditions, and with no occupants or cargo

loaded into the vehicle. The front and rear curb weight

values are determined by weighing your vehicle on a

commercial scale before any occupants or cargo are

added.

The actual total weight and the weight of the front and

rear of your vehicle at the ground can best be determined

by weighing it when it is loaded and ready for operation.

The entire vehicle should first be weighed on a commer-

cial scaleto insure that the GVWR has not been exceeded.

The weight on the front and rear of the vehicle should

then be determined separately to be sure that the load is

properly distributed over front and rear axle. Weighing

the vehicle may show that the GAWR of either the front

or rear axles has been exceeded but the total load is

within the specified GVWR. If so, weight must be shifted

from front to rear or rear to front as appropriate until the

specified weight limitations are met. Store the heavier

items down lowand be surethat the weightis distributed

equally. Stow all loose items securely before driving.

Improper weight distributions can have an adverse effect

on the way your vehicle steers and handles and the way

the brakes operate.
