Vehicle Loading
▼Vehicle Loading
WA R N I N G
Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle:
Towing a trailer wi
th this vehicle is
dangerous because it has not been
designed to tow a trailer and doing so will
affect the drive system which could result in
vehicle damage.
This section will guide you in the proper
loading of your vehicle, to keep your
loaded vehicle weight within its design
rating capability. Properly loading your
vehicle will provide maximum return of
vehicle design performance. Before
loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself
with the following terms for determining
your vehicle's weight ratings, from the
vehicle's Safety Certification Label and
Tire and Load Information Label:
WA R N I N G
Overloaded Vehicle:
Overloading a vehicle is dangerous. The
results of overloading can have serious
consequences in terms of passenger safety.
Too much weight on a vehicle's suspension
system can cause spring or shock absorber
failure, brake failure, handling or steering
problems, irregular tire wear, tire failure or
other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to
drive and control. It also increases the
distance required for stopping. In cases of
serious overloading, brakes can fail
completely, particularly on steep grades.
The load a tire will carry safely is a
combination of the size of the tire, its load
range, and corresponding inflation
pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always
observe the vehicle's weight ratings from
the vehicle's Safety Certification and Tire
and Load Information labels.
Base Curb Weight is the weight of the
vehicle including a f ull tank of fuel and
all standard equip ment. It does not
include passengers, cargo, or optional
equipment.

Vehicle Curb Weight is the weight of
your new vehicle when you picked it up
from your dealer plus any aftermarket
equipment.
