the vehicle's capacity weight.

Certification Label

Label Example

A vehicle-specific Certification
label is attached to the vehicle's
center pillar (B-pillar). The label
tells the gross weight capacity of
the 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 the vehicle, or the
Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for either the front or
rear axle.

And, if there is a heavy load, it
should be spread out. See

Steps for Determining Correct

Load Limit

earlier in this

section.

{

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.

If you put things inside the
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.

{

WARNING

Things inside the vehicle can
strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a
crash.

.

Put things in the cargo
area of the vehicle. In the
cargo area, put them as
far forward as possible.
Try to spread the weight
evenly.
