Certification Label
A vehicle specific Certification label is
attached to the lower area of the center
pillar (B-Pillar) on the passenger side of
the vehicle. The label tells you the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for the
front and rear axles. The GVWR
includes the weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, fuel, and cargo. See Technical
Data - Vehicle Specifications on page no
11-3. Never exceed the GVWR for the
vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for either the front or rear axle.
If the vehicle is carrying a heavy load, it
should be spread out.
Note
Identification plate / label includes the
Certification label information as well.
Warning
Do not load the vehicle any heavier
than the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR), or either the
maximum front or rear Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). This can
cause systems to break and change
the way the vehicle handles. This
could cause loss of control and a
crash. Overloading can also shorten
the life of the vehicle.
