Label Example
A vehicle-specific Certification/Tire label
is attached to the center pillar (B-pillar).
The label may show the size of the
vehicle's original tires and the inflation
pressures needed to obtain the gross
weight capacity of the vehicle. This is
called Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR). The GVWR includes the
weight of the vehicle, all occupants, and
cargo.
The Certification/Tire label also may
show the maximum weights for the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle

Towing with ACC
If equipped when towing a trailer, ACC
driving characteristics such as following gap,
acceleration rates, and braking rates may be
modified to provide a better towing
experience.
When ACC is used with vehicles equipped
with an aftermarket trailer brake controller,
disengage ACC before applying the manual
trailer brake. ACC will not automatically
disengage when the manual trailer brake is
applied.
ACC may be used when towing a trailer if
the trailer is within the GM-approved
allowable size and weight limits. SeeTrailer
Towing 0297.
When towing a trailer with ACC, it is
important to properly set the Trailer Gain.
See “Integrated Trailer Brake Control
System” inTowing Equipment 0301 for
information about the Trailer Gain
adjustment procedure.

Trailer Towing
Caution
Towing a trailer improperly can damage
the vehicle and result in costly repairs
not covered by the vehicle warranty. To
tow a trailer correctly, follow the
directions in this section and see your
dealer for important information about
towing a trailer with the vehicle.
Trailering is different than just driving the
vehicle by itself. Trailering means changes in
handling, acceleration, braking, and
durability. Successful, safe trailering takes
correct equipment, and it has to be used
properly.
The following information has many
time-tested, important trailering tips and
safety rules. Many of these are important
for your safety and that of your passengers.
Read this section carefully before pulling a
trailer.
Trailer Weight
{Warning
Never exceed the towing capacity for
your vehicle.
Safe trailering requires monitoring the
weight, speed, altitude, road grades, outside
temperature, and how frequently the vehicle
is used to tow a trailer.
Trailer Weight Ratings
When towing a trailer, the combined weight
of the vehicle, vehicle contents, trailer, and
trailer contents must be below all of the
maximum weight ratings for the vehicle,
including:
.Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)
.Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
.Maximum Trailer Weight Rating
.Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight Rating
.Gross Axle Weight Rating-Rear (GAWR-RR)
See “Weight-Distributing Hitch and
Adjustment” underTowing Equipment 0301
to determine if equalizer bars are required
to obtain the maximum trailer weight
rating.

298 Driving and Operating
See“Trailer Brakes” underTowing
Equipment 0301 to determine if brakes are
required based on your trailer's weight.
The only way to be sure the weight is not
exceeding any of these ratings is to weigh
the tow vehicle and trailer combination,
fully loaded for the trip, getting individual
weights for each of these items.
A trailering information label on the center
pillar (B-pillar) shows tow rating information
for the vehicle.
{Warning
You and others could be seriously injured
or killed if the trailer is too heavy or the
trailer brakes are inadequate for the load.
The vehicle may be damaged, and the
repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Only tow a trailer if all the steps in this
section have been followed. Ask your
dealer for advice and information about
towing a trailer.
Gross Combined Weight (GCW) Alert
If equipped, the Gross Combined Weight
(GCW) Alert can display a message in the
Driver Information Center (DIC), indicating
that the estimated combined weight of the
vehicle and trailer may exceed the vehicle’s
Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR),
under certain circumstances. See "Gross
Combined Weight Rating" later in this
section. The vehicle does not actually
measure the loaded weight of your vehicle
or trailer. It uses vehicle data to estimate
these weights after you begin a trip.
The alert will not activate unless:
.The feature is turned on in the Trailering
application, see Trailering App0310.
.The vehicle-trailer combination is driven
with enough acceleration events for the
software algorithm to estimate the
combined vehicle and trailer weight.
.The estimated weight could exceed the
vehicle maximum GCWR.
If you see the alert message, stop the
vehicle when it is safe and check whether
the vehicle and trailer are overloaded using
a scale. See “Maximum Trailer Weight” later
on in this section.
{Warning
Always determine the actual weights of
the loaded vehicle and trailer using a
vehicle scale before beginning a trip.
Never use the GCW Alert to determine
whether the vehicle and trailer are
properly loaded or overloaded. Do not
drive with an overloaded vehicle or
trailer. Death, serious injury, or property
damage could occur.
GCWR is only one of the maximum weight
ratings applicable to your vehicle and trailer.
The GCW Alert does not estimate whether
the vehicle alone exceeds the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR), the rear-axle weight
exceeds Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR-RR), the trailer exceeds the Maximum
Trailer Weight Rating or the trailer tongue
weight exceeds the Maximum Tongue
Weight Rating. Always verify that the
weight of the vehicle, vehicle contents,
trailer, trailer contents and trailer tongue are
below all of these maximum weight ratings.
See "Maximum Trailer Weight" below.

16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
Driving and Operating 299
Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)
GCWR is the total allowable weight of the
completely loaded vehicle and trailer
including any passengers, cargo, equipment,
and accessories. Do not exceed the GCWR
for your vehicle. The GCWR for the vehicle is
on the Trailering Information Label.
To check that the weight of the vehicle and
trailer are within the GCWR for the vehicle,
follow these steps:1. Start with the "curb weight" from the Trailering Information Label.
2. Add the weight of the trailer loaded with cargo and ready for the trip.
3. Add the weight of all passengers.
4. Add the weight of all cargo in the vehicle.
5. Add the weight of hitch hardware such as a draw bar, ball, load equalizer bars,
or sway bars.
6. Add the weight of any accessories or aftermarket equipment added to the
vehicle.
The resulting weight cannot exceed the
GCWR value on the Trailering Information
Label. The GCWR can also be confirmed by
weighing the vehicle and trailer on a public
scale. The vehicle and trailer should be
loaded for the trip with passengers and
cargo.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
For information about the vehicle's
maximum load capacity, see
Vehicle Load
Limits 0193. When calculating the GVWR
with a trailer attached, the trailer tongue
weight must be included as part of the
weight the vehicle is carrying.
Maximum Trailer Weight
The maximum trailer weight rating is
calculated assuming the tow vehicle has a
driver, a front seat passenger, and all
required trailering equipment. This value
represents the heaviest trailer the vehicle
can tow, but it may be necessary to reduce
the trailer weight to stay within the GCWR,
GVWR, maximum trailer tongue load,
or GAWR-RR for the vehicle.
Use the Trailering Information Label to
determine how much the trailer can weigh.
Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight Rating
Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight Rating is
the allowable trailer tongue weight that the
vehicle can support using a conventional
trailer hitch. It may be necessary to reduce
the overall trailer weight to stay within the
maximum trailer tongue weight rating while
still maintaining the correct trailer load
balance.
