Loading the Vehicle
Tahoe Police and Special Service
Package
The information in this section of the supplement is for
those who intend to install additional equipment to the
police vehicle after it has left the factory, and for those
who will be driving and loading the vehicle with
passengers and/or cargo.
Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it
was designed to carry, the Tire and Loading Information
label and the Certification/Tire label. These labels are
attached to your vehicle and give you the maximum
load capacity, the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
and the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for your
vehicle. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in your owner
manual Index for additional loading information.
The following guidelines can help you with proper
loading and load distribution when installing additional
equipment on the Tahoe Police Package.
{
WARNING:
Do not load the vehicle any heavier than the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
or either the maximum front or rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). If you do, parts
on the vehicle can break, and it can change
the way the vehicle handles. These could
cause you to lose control and crash. Also,
overloading can shorten the life of the
vehicle.
