LOADING TIPS
There are tie down hooks located in the cargo
area. The tie down hooks can be used to secure
cargo with ropes or other types of straps.
¼ The GVW must not exceed GVWR or
GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.S.S. certi-
fication label.
¼ Do not load the front and rear axle to the
GAWR. Doing so will exceed the GVWR.
WARNING
¼ Properly secure all cargo to help pre-
vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
¼ Do not load your vehicle any heavier
than the GVWR or the maximum front
and rear GAWRs. If you do, parts on
your vehicle can break, or it can
change the way your vehicle handles.
This could result in loss of control
and cause personal injury.
¼ Overloading not only can shorten the
life of your vehicle and the tire, but
can also cause unsafe vehicle han-
dling and longer braking distances.
This may cause a premature tire fail-
ure which could result in a serious
accident and personal injury. Failures
caused by overloading are not cov-
ered by the vehicle’s warranty.
PAYLOAD WEIGHT CAPACITY
The payload weight capacity is the maximum
total weight of passengers, optional equipment
(air conditioning, trailer hitch, etc.) and cargo
that your vehicle is designed to carry.
Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm that you
do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for your vehicle. See “Vehicle loading
information” earlier in this section for details.
Also check tires for proper inflation pressures.
See the tire and loading information label affixed
to the driver’s door center pillar.

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS
Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that
could affect the balance of your vehicle. When
the vehicle is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh
the front and the rear wheels separately to
determine axle loads. Individual axle loads
should not exceed either of the gross axle weight
ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle loads
