Compliance Label
The compliance label is located on the
driver's side of the center piller outer
panel.
The label shows the size of your original
tires and the inflation pressures needed
to obtain the gross weight capacity of
your vehicle. This is called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the ve-
hicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
C190G01JM
Refer to your vehicle's tire and loading
information label for specific informa-
tion about your vehicle's capacity weight
and seating positions. The combined
weight of the driver, passengers and
cargo should never exceed your
vehicle's capacity weight.
!
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.
