Refer to your vehicle’s tire and
loading information label for
specific information about
your vehicle’s capacity
weight and seating positions.
The combined weight of
the driver, passengers, and
cargo should never exceed your
vehicle’s capacity weight.
Certification/Tire Label
A vehicle specific Certification/
Tire label is attached to the
rear edge of the driver’s door.
The label shows the gross
weight capacity of your vehicle.
This is called the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR).
The GVWR includes the weight
of the vehicle, all occupants,
fuel, and cargo.
The Certification/Tire label
also tells you the maximum
weights for the front and
rear axles, called the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
To find out the actual loads on
your front and rear axles,
you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle.
Your dealer/retailer can help
you with this. Be sure to spread
out your load equally on both
sides of the centerline.
Never exceed the GVWR for
your vehicle or the GAWR
for either the front or rear axle.
{ CAUTION
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 your
vehicle handles. These could
cause you to lose control and
crash. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of the vehicle.
Notice
: Overloading your
vehicle may cause damage.
Repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Do not
overload your vehicle.
