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 than
127 pounds (58 kilograms) in your trunk.

A CAUTION:
I- 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 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.

too
much friction. You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.
Underinflated tires pose the
same danger as overloaded
tires. The resulting accident could cause serious iqjury.
Check all tires frequently to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked when your tires
are cold.
Overinflated tires are more likely to be cut, punctured, or
broken by a sudden impach such as whenyou hit a pothole.

tires at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires
can cause accidents. If your tread is badly
worn, or if your tires have been damaged, replace them.
