CAUTION:

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. These could cause you to lose control
and crash. Also, overloading can shorten the life
of your vehicle.

NOTICE:

Your warranty does not cover parts or
components that fail because of overloading.

Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it
may properly carry. The Tire

-

Loading Information label

found on the rear edge of the driver’s side rear door 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 your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the
Vehicle Capacity Weight and includes the weight of
all occupants, cargo and all options not installed in
the factory.
