Vehicle Loading
Your
vehicle
was
designed
for
specific
weight
capacities.
The
weight
capacities
of
your
vehicle
are
indicated
by
the
Gross
Vehicle
Weight
Rating
(GVWR)
and
the
Gross
Axle
Weight
Rating
(GAWR,
front
and
rear).
The
GVWR
and
GAWR
(front
and
rear)
are
listed
in
the
“SPECIFICA-
TIONS”
section.
GVWR
–
Maximum
permissible
overall
weight
of
the
fully
loaded
vehicle
(including
all
the
occupants,
accessories
and
cargo
plus
the
trailer
nose
weight
if
towing
a
trailer).
GAWR
–
(Front
and
Rear)
Maximum
per-
missible
weight
on
an
individual
axle.
Actual
weight
of
the
loaded
vehicle
and
actual
loads
at
the
front
and
rear
axles
can
only
be
determined
by
weighing
the
vehi-
cle.
Compare
these
weights
to
the
GVWR
and
GAWR
(front
and
rear).
If
the
gross
vehicle
weight
or
the
load
on
either
axle
exceeds
these
ratings,
you
must
remove
enough
weight
to
bring
the
load
down
to
the
rated
capacity.
Trailer Towing
Your
vehicle
is
originally
designed
to
carry
people
and
a
normal
amount
of
cargo,
not
to
tow
a
trailer.
MARUTI
SU
Z
UKI
does
not
recommend
you
use
your
vehicle
to
tow
a
trailer
if
there
is
not
any
local
regulation
about
towing
capacity
permitted
(for
exam-
ple,
registered
or
statutory
towing
capac-
ity).
Towing
a
trailer
can
adversely
affect
handling,
durability,
and
fuel
economy.
WARNING
Never overload your vehicle. The
gross vehicle weight (sum of the
weights of the vehicle, all the occu-
pants, accessories, cargo plus trailer
nose weight if towing a trailer) must
never exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition,
never distribute a load so that the
weight on either the front or rear axle
exceeds the Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing (GAWR).
WARNING
Always distribute cargo evenly. To
avoid personal injury or damage to
your vehicle, always secure cargo to
prevent it from shifting if the vehicle
moves suddenly. Place heavier
objects on the floor and as far for-
ward in the cargo area as possible.
Never pile cargo higher than the top
of the seat backs.
