General Information 5
Do Not Overload
This vehicle has been designed and assem-
bled for a maximum gross vehicle weight
rating (GVWR) and a maximum front and
rear axle weights rating (FAWR and
RAWR). The actual rating for this vehicle
can be found on the label attached to the
door frame on the driver’s side. If any of
these three ratings is exceeded and over-
loading occurs, instability, poor handling,
failure of parts and accelerated wear can
occur.
Under no circumstances should the pub-
lished GVWR, FAWR, and/or RAWR be
exceeded. Failure to observe these pre-
cautions can lead to the loss of vehicle
control, resulting in a crash causing seri-
ous personal injury or death.
Do not exceed the load rating of the
tires or the vehicle weight ratings. Over-
loading may result in tire failure causing
loss of vehicle control, leading to an ac-
cident resulting in severe personal injury
or death.
