Tires and Wheels

12.2 Loading the Vehicle

Two labels on the vehicle show how much weight it may

properly carry.

– The Tire and Loading Information Label can be found

on the driver’s door B-pillar. This label 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 the

vehicle.

– The Certification Label can be found below the

driver’s seat on an outward facing position of the

mounting 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.

Following is a discussion on how to work with the

information contained on the two labels with regards to

loading your Sprinter vehicle.

12.2.1 Tire and Loading Information

Do not overload the tires by exceeding the

specified load limit as indicated on the Tire and

Loading Information label on the driver’s door B-

pillar. Overloading the tires can overheat them,

possibly causing a blowout. Overloading the tires

can also result in handling or steering problems, or

brake failure.

Overloading of tires is dangerous. Overloading can

cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and

increase the stopping distance. Use tires of the

recommended load capacity for the vehicle. Never

overload them.

The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not

exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on

your vehicle. You will not exceed the tire’s load

carrying capacity if you adhere to the loading

conditions, tire size and cold tire inflation

pressures specified on the Tire and Loading

Information label and this section.
