Your
Vehicle
The
Certificatiomire label is found on the rear edge
of
the driver's door.
The label shows the size of your original tires and the
inflation pressures needed to obtain the gross weight
capacity of your vehicle. This is called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight
of
the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
The Certificatioflire label also tells you
the
maximum
weights for the front and rear axles, called 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 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.
And, if
you
do have a heavy load, you should spread
it out.
