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.
In the trunk or rear area don’t carry more than 160
pounds (72 kg) for the coupeshedans; 300 pounds (136 kg) for the six-passenger wagon.
If you have the eight-
passenger wagon, no additional cargo
can be carried if
you already have eight people in the vehicle.
A CAUTION:
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the
GVWR or the maximum front and rear GAWRs.
If you do, parts on your vehicle can brerak, 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.
If you put things inside your vehicle-like suitcases,
tools, packages, or anything else-they willgo as hst
as
the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly, or if
there is a crash, they’ll keep
going.
