The Certificationflire 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 Certificationnire 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 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.
A
Do
not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the
I
maximum front and rear GAWRs. 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.
Using heavier suspension components
to
get added durability might
not
change your weight ratings.
Ask
your dealer to help you load your vehicle the
right way.
