VEHICLE WEIGHT

Two labels on your driver's door sill show
how much weight your vehicle was de-
signed to carry: the Tire and Loading In-
formation Label and the Certification La-
bel.
Before loading your vehicle, familiarize
yourself with the following terms for de-
termining your vehicle's weight ratings,
from the vehicle's specifications and the
Certification Label:
Base Curb Weight
This is the weight of the vehicle including
a full tank of fuel and all standard equip-
ment. It does not include passengers,
cargo, or optional equipment.
Vehicle Curb Weight
This is the weight of your new vehicle
when you picked it up from your dealer
plus any aftermarket equipment.
Cargo Weight
This figure includes all weight added to
the Base Curb Weight, including cargo
and optional equipment.
GAW (Gross Axle Weight)
This is the total weight placed on each
axle (front and rear) - including vehicle
curb weight and all payload.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
This is the maximum allowable weight
that can be carried by a single axle (front
or rear). These numbers are shown on the
Certification Label. The total load on each
axle must never exceed its GAWR.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)
This is the Base Curb Weight plus actual
Cargo Weight plus passengers.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
This is the maximum allowable weight of
the fully loaded vehicle (including all op-
tions, equipment, passengers and cargo).
The GVWR is shown on the Certification
Label located on the driver's door sill.

WARNING
The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
and the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) for your vehicle are on the Certi-
fication Label attached to the driver's (or
front passenger's) door. Exceeding these
ratings can cause an accident or vehicle
damage. You can calculate the weight of
your load by weighing the items (and
people) before putting them in the vehi-
cle. Be careful not to overload your vehi-
cle.
