Tire Information
. To maximize the life of each tire
and ensure that the tires wear
uniformly, it is best to rotate the
tires every 6,000 miles (10,000 km).
Rotating the tires involves switching
the front and rear tires on the righthand
side of the vehicle and similarly
switching the front and rear
tires on the left-hand side of the
vehicle. (Each tire must be kept on
its original side of the vehicle.)
Replace any damaged or unevenly
worn tire at the time of rotation. After
tire rotation, adjust the tire pressures
and make sure the wheel nuts
are correctly tightened. For information
about the tightening torque and
tightening sequence for the wheel
nuts, refer to “Flat Tires” ☞P446.
& Vehicle Load Limit – How to
Determine
s13ab05
The load capacity of your vehicle is
determined by weight, not by available
cargo space. The load limit of
your vehicle is shown on the vehicle
placard attached to the driver’s side
B-pillar. Locate the statement “The
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg
or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s
placard.
The vehicle placard also shows
seating capacity of your vehicle.
The total load capacity includes the
total weight of driver and all passengers
and their belongings, any
cargo, any optional equipment such
as a trailer hitch, roof rack or bike
carrier, etc., and the tongue load of
a trailer. Therefore cargo capacity
can be calculated by the following
method.
Cargo capacity = Load limit − (total
weight of occupants + total weight
of optional equipment + tongue load
of a trailer (if applicable))
For towing capacity information and
weight limits, refer to “Trailer Towing
(Outback)” ☞P432.

s13ab0501
Calculate the available load capacity
as shown in the following
examples:
Example 1A
Vehicle capacity weight of the vehicle
is 800 lbs (363 kg), which is
indicated on the vehicle placard
with the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed 363 kg or
800 lbs”.
For example, if the vehicle has one
