Driving tips

Refer to your vehicle’s tire and load-

ing information label for specific

information about your vehicle's

capacity weight and seating posi-

tions. The combined weight of the

driver, passengers and cargo should

never exceed your vehicle's capacity

weight.

Compliance label

The compliance label is located on

the driver's door sill.

This label shows the maximum

allowable weight of the fully loaded

vehicle. This is called the GVWR

(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The

GVWR includes the weight of the

vehicle, all occupants, fuel and

cargo.

This label also tells you the maxi-

mum weight that can be supported

by the front and rear axles, called

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 center-

line.

WARNING - Over loading

• Never exceed the GVWR for

your vehicle, the GAWR for

either the front or rear axle

and vehicle capacity weight.

Exceeding these ratings can

cause an accident or vehicle

damage.You can calculate the

weight of your load by weigh-

ing the items (or people)

before putting them in the

vehicle. Be careful not to over-

load your vehicle.

• Do not load your vehicle any

heavier than the GVWR, either

the maximum front or rear

GAWR and vehicle capacity

weight. If you do,parts, includ-

ing tires on your vehicle can

break, and it can change the

way your vehicle handles and

braking ability. This could

cause you to lose control and

crash. Also, overloading can

shorten the life of your vehi-

cle.
