Loading Your Vehicle - Chevrolet 2004 Epica Owner's Manual

Loading Your Vehicle

It is very important to know how much weight your
vehicle can carry. This weight is called the Maximum
Load 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 GVWR, or either the maximum front or rear
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
The Tire and Loading Information label shows the
seating capacity and the maximum load your vehicle
can properly carry. The Tire and Loading information
label is attached to the center pillar below the door latch.
This label also lists your vehicle's original equipment
tire size and the recommended tire inflation pressure.
For more information on tires and inflation see Tires on
page 5-48 and Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-53.
