Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it
may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label
found on the driver's door lock pillar tells you the
proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation
pressures for the tires on your vehicle. It also gives you
important information about the number of people that
can be in your vehicle and the total weight that you can
carry. This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight
and includes the weight
of
all occupants, cargo and all
nonfactory-installed options.
The other label is the Certification label,
also
found on the
driver's door lock pillar. It tells you the
gross
weight
capacity of your vehicle, called the
Gross
Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR). The GVWR includes the weight of the
vehicle, all occupants,
fuel
and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR
for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for either the front or rear axle.
And, if
you
do have a heavy load, you should spread it
out. Don't carry more than
400
lbs.
(1
8
1
kg) in your rear
area when four people are in your two-wheel-drive
vehicle.
If
you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, don't
carry more than
200
lbs.
(9
1
kg)
in your rear area when
four people are in your vehicle.
