Certification Label
Label Example
A vehicle specific Certification
label is attached to the driver side
center pillar. The label tells you
the gross weight capacity of the
vehicle, called the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR).
Driving and Operating
The GVWR includes the weight
of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel,
and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR for the 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.
{
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). If you do, parts on
the 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 the vehicle.
