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 tires, and
shorten the life of the vehicle.
