Driving and Operating

The GVWR includes the weight
of the vehicle, all occupants,
fuel, and cargo.

The Certification/Tire label also
tells you the maximum weights
for the front and rear axles,
called the 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.

WARNING

Do not load the vehicle any
heavier than the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR), or either the
maximum front or rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
This can cause systems to
break and change the way the
vehicle handles. This could
cause loss of control and a
crash. Overloading can also
shorten the life of the vehicle.

Notice:

Overloading the

vehicle may cause damage.
Repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do
not overload the vehicle.

If you put things inside your
vehicle

like suitcases, tools,

packages, or anything else, they
will go as fast as the vehicle
goes. If you have to stop or turn
quickly, or if there is a crash,
they will keep going.
