Loading Your Vehicle

It is very important to know how much weight your
vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle
capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants,
cargo and all nonfactory-installed options. Two labels
on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly
carry, the Tire and Loading Information label and the
Certification/Tire label.

{

CAUTION:

Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or either
the maximum front or rear Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). If you do, parts on your
vehicle can break, and it can change the way
your vehicle handles. These could cause you
to lose control and crash. Also, overloading
can shorten the life of your vehicle.

Tire and Loading Information Label

A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information is
attached to the vehicle’s center pillar (B-pillar). With
the driver’s door open, you will find the label attached
below the door latch post. The tire and loading
information label shows the number of occupant seating
positions (A), and the maximum vehicle capacity
weight (B) in kilograms and pounds.

The Tire and Loading Information label also shows the
size of your vehicle’s original equipment tires (C)
and the recommended cold tire inflation pressures (D).
For more information on tires and inflation see Tires
on page 5-51 and Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-58.
