The CertificatiodTire label is found on the driver’s door
edge, above the door latch. The label shows the size
of
your original tires and the inflation pressures needed to
obtain the gross weight capacity of your vehicle. This is
called the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle,
all
occupants,
fuel, cargo and trailer tongue weight, if pulling
a
trailer.
The Certification/Tire label also tells
you
the maximum
weights for 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
centerline.
Never exceed the GVWR
for
your vehicle, or the
GAWR for either the front or rear axle.
If
you do have a heavy load,
you
should spread
it
out.
Similar appearing vehicles may have different
GVWRs
and payloads. Please note your vehicle’s
CertificatiodTire label or consult your dealer for
additional details.
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.
