Certification/Tire Label
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. The label shows the gross
weight capacity of the vehicle. This
is called the Gross Vehicle Weight
Driving and Operating
Rating (GVWR). The GVWR
includes the weight of the vehicle,
all occupants, fuel, and cargo.
The Certification/Tire label may also
show the maximum weights for the
front and rear axles, called the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
To find out the actual loads on the
front and rear axles, weigh the
vehicle at a weigh station. Your
dealer can help with this. Be sure to
spread the load equally on both
sides of the centerline.
Caution
Overloading the vehicle may
cause damage. Repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not overload the
vehicle.
