Vehicle Load Limits - Chevrolet Corvette Owner's Manual

168 Driving and Operating
Slowly spinning the wheels in the
forward and reverse directions
causes a rocking motion that could
free the vehicle. If that does not get
the vehicle out after a few tries, it
might need to be towed out. If the
vehicle does need to be towed out,
see Towing the Vehicle 0 281.

Vehicle Load Limits

It is very important to know how
much weight the vehicle can
carry. This weight is called the
vehicle capacity weight and
includes the weight of all
occupants, cargo, and all
non-factory-installed options.
Two labels on the vehicle may
show how much weight it may
properly carry: the Tyre and
Loading Information label and
the Certification 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).
This can cause systems to
break and change the way the
vehicle handles. This could
cause loss of control and a
crash. Overloading can also
reduce stopping distance,
damage the tyres, and shorten
the life of the vehicle.
Tyre and Loading Information
Label
Label Example
A vehicle-specific Tyre and
Loading Information label is
attached to the centre pillar
(B-pillar). This label shows the
number of occupant seating
positions (1), and the maximum
vehicle capacity weight (2) in
kilograms and pounds.
The Tyre and Loading
Information label also shows the
size of the original equipment
tyres (3) and the recommended
cold tyre inflation pressures (4).
