Black plate (28,1) Chevrolet HHR Owner Manual - 2011
Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle or the
GAWR for either the front or rear axle.
{ WARNING:
Do not load the vehicle any heavier than
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
or either the maximum front or rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). This can cause
systems to break and change the way the
vehicle handles. This could cause loss of
control and a crash. Overloading can also
shorten the life of the vehicle.
Notice: Overloading the vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Do not overload the vehicle.
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 will keep going.
{ WARNING:
Things you put inside the vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn,
or in a crash.
. Put things in the cargo area of the
vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.
. Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so that some
of them are above the tops of the seats.
. Do not leave an unsecured child restraint
in the vehicle.
. When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
. Do not leave a seat folded down unless
you need to.
