The other label is the Certification label, found on the
rear edge of the driver's door. It tells you the gross
weight capacity of your vehicle, called the
GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes
the
weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle or the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for either the front or
rear axle.
If you do have
a
heavy load, spread it out. Don't carry
more than 167 pounds (75 kg) in
your
trunk.
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, or it
can
change the way your vehicle
handles. These could cause you to lose control.
Also, overloading can shorten the life of
your vehicle.
