Loading Your Vehicle - Cadillac 2006 XLR Owner's Manual

Loading Your Vehicle

It is very important to know how much weight your
vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle
capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants,
cargo, and all nonfactory-installed options. Two labels
on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly
carry, the Tire and Loading Information label and the
Certification label.
CAUTION:
{
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or either
the maximum front or rear Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). If you do, parts on your
vehicle can break, and it can change the way
your vehicle handles. These could cause you
to lose control and crash. Also, overloading
can shorten the life of your vehicle.
Tire and Loading Information Label
Label Example
A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information label is
attached to the center pillar (B-pillar) of your vehicle.
With the driver's door open, you will find the label attached
below the door latch. This label shows the number of
occupant seating positions (A), and the maximum vehicle
capacity weight (B) in kilograms and pounds.
The Tire and Loading Information label also shows
the size of the original equipment tires (C) and the
recommended cold tire inflation pressures (D). For more
information on tires and inflation see Tires on page 6-47
and Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 6-54.
