Weights
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
and the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
for front and rear are listed on a sticker on
the left door jamb.
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in
cludes the weight of the basic vehicle plus
full fuel tank, oil and coolant, plus maximum
load, which combines passenger weight
(150 lbs/68 kg per designated seating posi
tion) and luggage weight.
Luggage weight is not increased by the use
of a roof rack, unless the passenger capac
ity is reduced accordingly.
The Gross Axle Weight Rating is the
maximum load that can be applied at each
axle of the vehicle. �W
ARNIN G
• The actual Gross Axle Weight
Rating at the front and rear axles
should not exceed the permissible
weights, and their combination
must nbt exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating.
• Exceeding permissible weight
ratings can result in vehicle dam
age, accidents and personal injury.
The vehicle capacity weight (max.
load) is listed inside the fuel filler flap. TECHNICAL
DATA
Notes
• The vehicle capacity weight fig
ures apply when the load is distrib
uted evenly in the vehicle (passengers
and luggage). When transporting a
heavy load in the luggage compart·
ment, carry the load as near to the
rear axle as possible so that the ve
hicle's handling is not impaired.
• Do not exceed the maximum per
missible axle loads or the maximum
Gross Vehicle Weight.
Always remember that the vehicle's
handling will be affected by the ex
tra load. Therefore, adjust your
speed accordingly.
• Always observe local regulations.
