combined weight of the driver, passengers and
cargo should never exceed your vehicle's
maximum vehicle capacity weight.
Certification/Tire Label
A vehicle specific Certification/Tire label is
attached to the lower area of the center pillar
(B-pillar). The label shows the gross weight
capacity of your vehicle. This is called the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The GVWR
2008 - Saturn VUE Owner Manual (July 23, 2007)
includes the weight of the vehicle, all occupants,
fuel, cargo, and trailer tongue weight, if your
vehicle is pulling a trailer.
The Certification/Tire label also tells you the
maximum weights for the front and rear axles,
called Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To find
out the actual loads on your front and rear
axles, you need to go to a weigh station and
weigh your vehicle. Your dealer/retailer can help
you with this. Be sure to spread out your load
equally on both sides of the centerline.
Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, or the
GAWR for either the front or rear axle.
Similar looking vehicles may have different
GVWRs and payloads. Please consult your
vehicle's Certification/Tire label or your retailer for
additional details.
