Certification Label (Type B) - if
equipped
Tyre Label
The Certification/Tyre label is found
on the front edge of the RH (or LH)
"B" pillar. The label shows the size of
your original tyres and inflation
pressures needed to obtain the
gross weight capacity of your vehi
-
cle.
This is called the GVWR (Gross Vehi
-
cle Weight Rating). The GVWR
includes the weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, fuel and cargo. The Cer
-
tification/Tyre label also tells you
the maximum weights for the front
and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).
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.
NOTICE
Your warranty does not cover parts
or components that fail because of
overloading.
WARNING
Do not load your vehicle any heavier
than the GVWR or the maximum
front and rear GAWRs. If you do,
change to the vehicle may occur, or
it can change the way your vehicle
handles. These could cause you to
lose control. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.
