Certification Label
A vehicle specific Certification label, found on the
rear edge of the driver's door, tells you the
gross weight capacity of your vehicle, called the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The GVWR
includes the weight of the vehicle, all occupants,
fuel, and cargo. Never exceed the GVWR for your
vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for either the front or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you should
spread it out. See "Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit" earlier in this section.
