yellowblue Loading Your Vehicle Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label found in the glove compartment 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 that you can carry. This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and all nonfactory-installed options. The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear of the driver's door opening. 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. And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Don't carry more than 125 lbs. (56.7 kg) in your trunk. 4-29
