Loading Your Vehicle - Pontiac 2004 Grand Prix Owner's Manual

Loading Your Vehicle

Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it
may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label is
on the inside of the trunk lid. The label tells you the
proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation
pressures for the tires on your vehicle. It also gives
you important information about the number of people
that can be in your vehicle and the total weight you can
carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight
and includes the weigh of all occupants, cargo and
all non-factory installed options.
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 Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). 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.
