The Certificationrnire 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
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.

:
Do
not load your vehicle any heavier than the
GVWR,
or either the maximum front or rear
GAWR.
If
you do, parts on your vehicle can break,
or
it
can change the way your vehicle handles.
These could cause you to lose control.
Also,
overloading can shorten the
life
of your vehicle.
