space. Total vehicle weight (the vehicle
weight plus weight of all occupants, fuel
and all cargo) must not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Mass (GVM).
The GVM for your vehicle can be found on
the built date label which is located on the
left side center pillar as shown in the illus-
tration.
GVM is the maximum total weight of the
vehicle including all options, fuel, driver
and passengers, and all cargo.
Tire inflation pressures must also be ad-
justed according to the load condition as
listed on the tire information label located
on the driver’s side center pillar. For ad-
justing tire pressures refer to “Tire pres-
sures and wear” in the separate Owner’s
Manual in chapter 11.
Load distribution
Distribution of the load in your vehicle is
also important to ensure the proper bal-
ance and stability of the vehicle. In addi-
tion to not exceeding the GVM the load
distribution on each axle (front or rear of
vehicle) must not exceed the Gross Axle
Laden Rating (GALR) for that axle. Front
and rear axle loads can be adjusted by re-
locating luggage inside the vehicle.
GALRs for your vehicle can also be found
on the built date label which is located on
the left side center pillar as shown in the il-
lustration.
If you carry heavy loads in the vehicle par-
ticularly if the vehicle is driven on rough
bumpy or corrugated roads, you should
confirm that the GVM and front and rear
GALR’s are within specification. This can
be done by weighing the vehicle on a ve-
hicle scale found at a commercial weigh-
ing station.
