Driving and Operating

Example 3

1.

Vehicle Capacity Weight
for Example 3 = 453 kg
(1,000 lbs).

2.

Subtract Occupant
Weight @ 91 kg
(200 lbs) × 5 = 453 kg
(1,000 lbs).

3.

Available Cargo Weight
= 0 kg (0 lbs).

Refer to the vehicle's tire and
loading information label for
specific information about the
vehicle's capacity weight and
seating positions. The combined

weight of the driver, passengers,
and cargo should never exceed
the vehicle's capacity weight.

Certification/Tire Label

Label Example

A vehicle-specific Certification/
Tire label is attached to the
center pillar (B-pillar).

The label may show the size of
the vehicle's original tires and
the inflation pressures needed to
obtain the gross weight capacity
of the vehicle. The label shows
the gross weight capacity of the
vehicle. This is called the Gross

Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
The GVWR includes the weight
of the vehicle, all occupants,
fuel, and cargo.

The Certification/Tire label may
also show the maximum weights
for the front and rear axles,
called the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). To find out the
actual loads on the front and
rear axles, weigh the vehicle at
a weigh station. Your dealer can
help with this. Be sure to spread
the load equally on both sides of
the centerline.

Caution

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