Certification label
Even after careful determination of the com-
bined weight of all occupants, cargo and the
trailer tongue load (if applicable)
(Y page 210) as to not exceed the permissi-
ble load limit, you must make sure your vehi-
cle never exceeds the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for either the front or rear axle.
You can obtain the GVWR and GAWR from the
certification label. The certification label can
be found on the driver’s door B-pillar, see the
