The other label is the Certification label, found on the
rear edge of the driver’s door. It tells
you the gross
weight capacity of your vehicle, called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes
the weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
Never exceed
the GVWR for your vehicle or the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
for either the
front or rear axle.
If you do have a heavy load, spread it out. Don’t carry
more than
167 pounds (75 kg) in your trunk.
A CAUTION:
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the
GVWR, or either the maximum front or rear
GAWR.
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.
I NOTICE:
Your warranty does not cover parts or
components that fail because
of overloading.
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’ll keep going.
