Compliance Label
C190G01JM
The compliance label is located on the
driver's side of the center piller outer
panel.
The label shows the size of your origi-
nal tires and the inflation pressures
needed to obtain the gross weight
capacity of your vehicle. This is called
the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing). The GVWR includes the weight of
the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and
cargo.

This label also tells you the maximum
weights that can be supported by 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 can help you with this. Be sure
to spread out your load equally on both
sides of the centerline.
!
WARNING:
o Never exceed the GVWR for your
vehicle, or the GAWR for either
the front or rear axle.
o 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, and it can change the
way your vehicle handles. This
could cause you to lose control
and crash. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
NOTE:
o Overloading your vehicle may
cause damage. Repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do
not overload your vehicle.
o Using heavier suspension com-
ponents to get added durability
might not change your weight
ratings. Ask your dealer to help
you load your vehicle the right
way.
The label will help you decide how
much cargo and installed equipment
your vehicle can carry.
If you carry items inside your vehicle
– like suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else – they more as fast as
the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the
items will keep going and can cause
an injury if they strikes the driver or a
passenger.
