9-14 Driving and Operating Vehicle Load Limits It is very important to know how much weight the vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory‐installed options. Two labels on the vehicle show how much weight it was designed to carry, the Tire and Loading Information label and the Certification label. { 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. Tire and Loading Information Label Label Example A vehicle-specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the center pillar (B-pillar). With the driver door open, the label is attached below the door lock post.
