• Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper
door open.
• Pour fuel into funnel opening.
• Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior
to putting back in the spare tire storage area.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the fuel door is open
or the tank is being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is running.

fire regulations and may cause the "Mal-
function Indicator Light" to turn on.
• A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a ve-
hicle. You could be burned. Always place
fuel containers on the ground while filling.

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
"top off" the fuel tank after filling.

VEHICLE LOADING

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR)
The GVWR is the total permissible weight of
your vehicle including driver, passengers, ve-
hicle, options and cargo. The label also specifies
maximum capacities of front and rear axle sys-
tems (GAWR). Total load must be limited so
GVWR and front and rear GAWR are not ex-
ceeded.

Payload

The payload of a vehicle is defined as the
allowable load weight a truck can carry, includ-
ing the weight of the driver, all passengers,
options and cargo.

Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)

The GAWR is the maximum permissible load on
the front and rear axles. The load must be
distributed in the cargo area so that the GAWR
of each axle is not exceeded.
Each axle GAWR is determined by the compo-
nents in the system with the lowest load carrying
capacity (axle, springs, tires or wheels). Heavier
axles or suspension components sometimes
specified by purchasers for increased durability
does not necessarily increase the vehicle's
GVWR.
