The other label is

on
the
rear edge
of
the driver’s

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, you
should
spread
it
out.
Don’t carry more than
176
lbs.
(80
kg)
in your trunk.
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.
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
OF
turn
quickly,
or
if
there
is
a
crash, they’ll keep going.
