Vehicle identification plate
When you have calculated the total load, you
should make sure that the gross vehicle
weight rating and the gross axle weight rating
are not exceeded. Details can be found on the
vehicle identification plate on the B-pillar on
the driver's side of the vehicle (
Y
page 288).
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: the gross
weight of the vehicle, all passengers and the
load must not exceed the permissible gross
vehicle weight rating.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): the
maximum permissible weight that can be car-
ried by one axle (front or rear axle).
To ensure that your vehicle does not exceed
the maximum permissible values, have your
loaded vehicle (including driver, occupants,
load) weighed on a vehicle weighbridge.
Maximum load rating
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified load limit. The maximum permissi-
ble load can be found on the vehicle's Tire and
Loading Information placard on the B-pillar on
the driver's side (
Y
page 288).
Maximum tire load : is the maximum per-
missible weight for which the tire is approved.
