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.
And,
if
you do have a heavy load, you should spread
it out. Don’t carry more

(60
kg)
in
your

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.
