load. Therefore, the GVW changes depending on
the situation. The GVWR equals Curb Weight (actual
weight of your vehicle – including standard equip-
ment, fluids, emergency tools and spare tire assem-
bly) plus the vehicle capacity weight.
In addition, the total weight applied to each axle
(GAW) must never exceed the GAWR. The front and
rear GAWs can be adjusted by relocating luggage
inside the vehicle.
Even if the total weight of your luggage is lower than
the vehicle capacity weight, either front or rear GAW
may exceed the GAWR, depending on the distribu-
tion of the luggage.
If you carry heavy loads in the vehicle, you should
confirm that GVW and front and rear GAWs are with-
in the GVWR and GAWR by putting your vehicle on
a vehicle scale, found at a commercial weighing sta-
tion.
Do not use replacement tires with a lower load
range than the originals because they may lower the
GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires
with a higher load range than the originals do not in-
crease the GVWR and GAWR limitations.

When you carry cargo on the roof using the roof
crossbar kit and a carrying attachment, never ex-
ceed the maximum load limit explained below. You
should also be careful that your vehicle does not ex-
ceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and
