WARNING!

Because the front wheels steer the vehicle, it is
important that you do not exceed the maximum front
or rear GAWR. A dangerous driving condition can
result if either rating is exceeded. You could lose
control of the vehicle and have a collision.

Tire Size
The tire size on the Vehicle Certification Label represents

the actual tire size on your vehicle. Replacement tires

must be equal to the load capacity of this tire size.
Rim Size
This is the rim size that is appropriate for the tire size

listed.

Inflation Pressure
This is the cold tire inflation pressure for your vehicle for

all loading conditions up to full GAWR.
Curb Weight
The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total weight

of the vehicle with all fluids, including vehicle fuel, at full

capacity conditions, and with no occupants or cargo loaded

into the vehicle. The front and rear curb weight values are

determined by weighing your vehicle on a commercial

scale before any occupants or cargo are added.
Overloading
The load carrying components (axle, springs, tires,

wheels, etc.) of your vehicle will provide satisfactory

service as long as you do not exceed the GVWR and the

front and rear GAWR.
