Vehicle Certification Label
The Vehicle Certification label provides:
• GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The
maximum allowable total mass of
Model X. This is calculated as the weight
of Model X equipped with the heaviest
factory selectable options, all passengers,
fluids, and cargo.
• GAWR FRT and GAWR RR - Gross Axle
Weight Rating for the front and rear axles.
The GAWR is the maximum distributed
weight that each axle can support.

CAUTION:
To prevent damage, never
load Model X so that it is heavier than
GVWR or exceeds the individual
GAWR weights.
Calculating Load Limits
1. Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX lbs or XXX kg” on the
“Tire and Loading Information” label.
2. Determine the combined weight of all
occupants that will ride in the vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the
occupants from XXX lbs or XXX kg (see
Step 1).
4. The resulting figure equals the available
cargo load capacity. For example, if the
“XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs (635 kg)
and there will be five 150 lb (68 kg)
passengers in the vehicle, the amount of
available cargo capacity is 650 lbs
(1400
‑
750
(5 x 150)
= 650 lbs) or 295 kg
(635
‑
340
(5 x 68)
= 295 kg).
5. Determine the combined cargo weight
being loaded on the vehicle. That weight
must not exceed the available cargo load
capacity calculated in Step 4.
WARNING:
Trunks are the preferred
places to carry objects. In a collision,
or during hard braking and sharp
turns, loose items in the cabin could
injure occupants.
Example Load Limit Calculations
How much cargo Model X can carry depends
on the number and weight of passengers. The
following calculated load limit examples
assume passengers weigh 150 lbs (68 kg). If
passengers weigh more or less, available
cargo weight decreases or increases
respectively.
