Vehicle loading
Your vehicle is designed for specific weight capacities. The weight capacities of your vehicle are indicated by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW, front and rear). The GVWR and PAW (front and_ rear) are listed in "SPECIFICATIONS" section.
GVWR -Maximum permissible overall weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including all the occupants, accessories and cargo plus the trailer nose weight if towing a trailer). PAW (front and rear) -Maximum permissible weight on an individual axle.
Actual weight of the loaded vehicle and actual loads at the front and rear axles can only be determined by weighing the vehicle. Compare these weights to the GVWR and PAW (front and rear). If the g_ross vehicle weight or the load on either axle exceeds these ratings, you must remove enough weight to bring the load down to the rated capacity.
A_ WARNING
Never overload your vehicle. The gross vehicle weight (sum of the weights of the vehicle, all the occupants, accessories, cargo p~us trailer nose weight if towing a trailer) must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition, never distribute a load so that the weight on either the front or rear axle exceeds the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW).
A_ WARNING
Always distribute cargo evenly. To avoid personal injury or damage to
your vehicle, always_ se~ure carg'? to prevent it from sh1ftmg 1f the vehicle moves suddenly. Place heavier objects on the floor and as far _forward in the cargo area as possible. Never pile cargo higher than the top of the seat backs.
