Certification Label
A vehicle specific Certification label is attached to the
rear edge of the driver's door. This label shows 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.
If your vehicle is a Professional Vehicle, the vehicle
specific Certification label is provided by the final stage
manufacturer. The coach-builder should be consulted
if the final stage manufacturer's label is not present. The
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating GVWR label should be
on the driver's door edge.
If you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out.
Do not carry more than 194 lbs (88 kg) in the trunk
of your non-professional vehicle.
CAUTION:
{
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or either
the maximum front or rear Gross Axle Weight
Rating (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.
Notice: Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.
