T o improve the fit of both the lap and shoulder belt on children who hav[...]

T ypes of booster seats There are generally two types of belt-positioning booster seats: backless and high back. Always use booster seats in conjunction with the vehicle lap/shoulder belt. • Backless booster seats If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield. If a vehicle seating position has a low seat back or no head [...]

Children and booster seats vary in size and shape. Choose a booster that keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and rest snugly near the center of the shoulder . The drawings below compare the ideal fit (center) to a shoulder belt uncomfortably close to [...]

Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat. W ARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder belt under a child’ s arm or behind the back because it reduces the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk of injury or death in a collision. Child restraint and safety belt maintena[...]

INFORMA TION ABOUT UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING T ire Quality Grades apply to new pneumatic passenger car tires. The Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: • T readwear 200 T raction AA T emperature A These T ire Quality Grades are determined by standards th[...]

W ARNING: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics. T emperature A B C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the tire’ s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to [...]

• Extra load: A class of P-metric or Metric tires designed to carry a heavier maximum load at 41 psi [43 psi (2.9 bar) for Metric tires]. Increasing the inflation pressure beyond this pressure will not increase the tire’ s load carrying capability . • kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of air pressure. • PSI: Pounds per square inch, a standard [...]

W ARNING: Under -inflation is the most common cause of tire failures and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation or “blowout”, with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury . Under -inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance, resulting in heat buildup and internal damage to the tire. It also [...]

Note: If you have to drive a distance to get air for your tire(s), check and record the tire pressure first and add the appropriate air pressure when you get to the pump. It is normal for tires to heat up and the air pressure inside to go up as you drive. 2. Remove the cap from the valve on one tire, then firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve [...]

Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear abnormally . Inspect all your tires, including the spare, frequently , and replace them if one or more of the following conditions exist: Tire wear When the tread is worn down to 1/16th of an inch (2 mm), tires must be replaced to help prevent your vehicle from skidding and hydropla[...]

U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN) Both U.S. and Canada Federal regulations require tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides a U.S. DOT T ire Identification Number for safety standard certification[...]

W ARNING: When mounting replacement tires and wheels, you should not exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire to set the beads without additional precautions listed below . If the beads do not seat at the maximum pressure indicated, re-lubricate and try again. When inflating the tire for mounting pressures up to 20 psi (1.3[...]

• Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against a curb when parking W ARNING: If your vehicle is stuck in snow , mud, sand, etc., do not rapidly spin the tires; spinning the tires can tear the tire and cause an explosion.

Steps for determining the correct load limit: 1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’ s placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers fr[...]

calculation would be: 635 kg - (2 x 99 kg) - (12 x 45 kg) = 635 - 198 - 540 = -103 kg. Y ou will need to reduce the load weight by at least 240 lb. (104 kg). If you remove 3-100 lb. (45 kg) cement bags, then the load calculation would be: 1,400 - (2 x 220) - (9 x 100) = 1,400 - 440 - 900 = 60 lb. Now you have the load capacity to transport the ceme[...]

For load specification terms found on the label, refer to V ehicle loading – with and without a trailer in this chapter .
