PO338
Open your glovebox and look for this label:
This label will tell you how much of a load your vehicle can carry, and how
to spread out your load the right way.
Also, it will help you match the right
slide-in camper to your vehicle.
When you carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load of you\
r vehicle is the
weight of the camper,
plus:
everything else added to the camper after it left the factory;\

everything in the camper; and
all the people inside.
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum weight
of the load your
vehicle can carry. It doesn’t include the weight of the people inside. But, you
can figure about
150 pounds for each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your vehicle’s
CWR.

The camper’s center of gravity should fall within the center of gravity zone for
your vehicle’s cargo load.
You must weigh any accessories, trailer hitches or other equipment you add
to your vehicle. Then, subtract this extra weight from the CWR,
This extra
weight may shotten the center of gravity zone for your vehicle. Your dealer
can help you with this.
If your slide-in camper and its load weigh less than the CWR, the center of
gravity zone for your vehicle may be larger.
Your dealer can help you make
a good vehicle-camper match. He’ll also help
you determine your CWR.
After you’ve loaded your vehicle and camper, drive to a weigh station and
weigh on the front and rear wheels separately. This will tell you the loads on
your
axles. The loads on the front and rear axles shouldn’t be more th\
an
either
of the GAWRs. The total of the axie..loads should not be more than
the GVWR.
Open your driver’s door and look at the door lock pillar f\
or the CertificationKire label to find out your GWAR and GWVR.
If you’ve gone over your weight ratings, move or take out some\
things until
all the weights fall below the ratings. Of course, you should always tie down
any loose items when you load your vehicle or camper.
When you install and load your slide-in camper, check the manufacturer’s
instructions.

Pickup Conversion fo Chassis Cab
General Motors is aware that some vehicle owners may consider having the
pickup box removed and a commercial or recreational body installed. Be\
fore
you do
so, first contact the GM Zone Office for your area for information on
such conversions. (See the “Warranty and Owner Assistance”\
booklet for
Zone Office.) Owners should be aware that, as manufactured, th\
ere are
differences between a chassis cab and a pickup with the box r\
emoved which
may affect vehicle safety. The components necessary to adapt the pickup to
permit its safe use with a specialized body should be installe\
d by a body
builder in accordance with the information available from the Zone Office.
Tires
We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high quality tires made by
a leading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted by the tire
manufacturers and their warranties are delivered with every new vehicle. If
your spare tire is a different brand than your road tires, you will have a tire
warranty folder from each of these manufacturers.
4 Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous.
Overloading your tires can cause overheating as a result of too
much friction. You could have an air-out and a serious accide

Underinflated tires pose the same danger as overloaded tires.
The resulting accident could cause serious injury. Check all tires
frequently to maintain the recommended pressure. Tire pressure should be checked when your tires are cold.

Overinflated tires are more likely to be cut, punctured, or broken
by sudden impact such as when you hit a pothole. Keep tires ar
