Loading the 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 was designed to carry, the
Tire and Loading Information label and the
Certification/Tire label.
{WARNING:
Do not load the 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 the vehicle can break, and it can change
the way the vehicle handles. These could
cause you to lose control and crash.
Also, overloading can shorten the life
of the vehicle.
Tire and Loading Information Label
Label Example
A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information
label is attached to the center pillar (B-pillar).
With the driver's door open, you will find the
label attached below the door lock post (striker).
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.

To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly counterclockwise.The fuel cap has a spring in it; if the cap is released toosoon, it will spring back to the right.
While refueling, hang the tethered fuel cap from thehook on the fuel door.
{WARNING:
Fuel can spray out on you if you open the fuel cap
too quickly. If you spill fuel and then something
ignites it, you could be badly burned. This spray
can happen if the tank is nearly full, and is more
likely in hot weather. Open the fuel cap slowly and
wait for any hiss noise to stop. Then unscrew the
cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not top off or overfill thetank and wait a few seconds after you have finishedpumping before removing the nozzle. Clean fuel frompainted surfaces as soon as possible. SeeWashingYour Vehicle on page 7!102.
When replacing the fuel cap, insert the tether in its holebefore tightening the cap. Turn the fuel cap clockwiseuntil it clicks. It will require more effort to turn the fuelcap on the last turn as you tighten it. Make sure the capis fully installed. The diagnostic system can determine ifthe fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed.This would allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere.SeeMalfunction Indicator Lamp on page 4!36
