The other label
is
the Certification label, found on
the
rear edge
of
the driver’s door. It tells you the gross
weight capacity of your vehicle, called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes
the weight of
the
vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle,
or
the
Gross Axle Weight Rating GAWR for either the front
or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load,
you
should spread
it
out. Don’t carry more than
100
lbs.
(45
kg)
in
your
rear area.
I
I
’
A
CAUTIl
:
Do
not load your vehicle any heavier than
the GVWR, or either the maximum front
or
rear
GAWR.
If
you
do,
parts
on
your vehicle
can break, or
it
can change the
way
your
vehicle handles. These could cause
you
to lose
control.
Also,
overloading can shorten the life
of
your vehicle.
If you put things inside your vehicle
--
like suitcases,
tools, packages or anything else
--
they will
go
as fast
as
the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly, or
if there
is
a
crash, they’ll keep going.
