TO COMPLY WITH FMVSS 110
Description: Effective June 2, 2008, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 (FMVSS 110) sets

has been increased before retail sale. This limit is the lesser of 1.5% of the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating or 100 pounds. If the total added weight exceeds the lesser of the limit, a label (See Figure 1)
must be added to the driver-side B-pillar within 25mm (1 inch) of the original tire placard.
Applicable Vehicles: All Genesis brand vehicles that meet the additional weight criteria above.

Service Procedure:
All Dealers must determine if the weight they have added in the form of a single or multiple option(s)
or accessory(s), when added to the weight of any Port installed option(s) or accessory(s), exceeds
the lesser of 1.5% of GVWR or 45.4kg (100 lbs). All Port installed or Dealer installed options must be
included in the weight analysis. If the additional weight does exceed the lesser of the indicated
thresholds, a 'Load Carrying Capacity Reduced” Label must be installed. A black, fine point, indelible
marker must be used to write by hand onto the label the reduced carrying capacity in kilograms and
pounds, which is the total weight of all the added option(s) or accessory(s).
Example:

The added accessories weigh 39kg (86 lbs) and exceed the listed 1.5% (GVWR) threshold
of 38kg (84 lbs). Therefore, a “Load Carrying Capacity Reduced” Label must be added with
a value of 39kg (86 lbs) written with a black, fine point indelible marker. The label must be
applied within 25mm (1 inch) of the existing tire placard.

The downloaded sheet has an automated calculation that will determine if the vehicle
requires the “Load Carrying Capacity Reduced” Label. It will also indicate the weight to
be recorded on the label.

Step 2: Entering Accessory Weights


From the table provided add all
applicable Dealer Installed
Accessories. The weights are also
indicated on the accessory
installation instructions.
Enter the weight below the cell
labeled “Applicable Dealer Installed
Accessories (lbs.).

 NOTE
When Dealers add accessory(s) or option(s) before retail sale, Dealers are required
to add the weights of Port installed accessory(s) listed on the Monroney Label to the
weights of accessories added at the Dealer. The total weight of port installed
accessories will be printed in the box containing the VIN and Engine # in the lower
portion of the Monroney Label. Dealers must add the listed accessory weight
to the weights of any Dealer installed accessory(s) or option(s) to determine the total
accessory weight. If a label was already applied at the Ports containing a reduced
load carrying capacity, the Dealer may need to apply a new label to take into account
additional option(s) or accessory(s) added by the Dealer.
5.
The worksheet will indicate if a “Load
Carrying Capacity Reduced” label is
required. If the label is required the
worksheet will indicate the weight that
must be written on the label.

Label must be added with the indicated
weight in lbs. written with a black, fine
point indelible marker. The label must be
applied within 25mm (1 inch) of the
