Vehicl
e Loadin g
Vehicl e Loadin g Informatio n

The components of your vehicle are designed to providesatisfactory service only if the
vehicle is not loaded in excess of
either the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the maximum
front and rear Gross Axle Weight
Ratings (GAWRs). These ratings are listed on the Vehicle
Certification Label located on the
left door lock pillar.
Your Honda dealer can advise you
of the proper loading conditions
for your vehicle. The use of
selected heavier suspension
components for added durability
purposes does not increase any of the weight ratings printed on the
Vehicle Certification Label. Maximu
m Fron t an d Rea r
Axl e Weigh t
The weight of the cargo load must be properly distributed over both
the front and rear axles. The
Certification Label shows themaximum weight that the front
axle (front GAWR) can carry. It also shows the maximum weight
that the rear axle (rear GAWR) can
carry. The GVWR represents the
maximum permissible loaded
weight of the vehicle and takes
into account the engine,
transmission, frame, springs,
brake, axle, and tire capabilities.
Actual loads on the front and rear
axles can only be determined by
weighing the vehicle. This can be
done at highway weight stations
or other such commercial weigh stations. Consult your Honda
dealer for assistance. The cargo

load should be distributed on both
sides as equally as possible.
Effec t o n Warrant y
Your Limited Warranty on your
new Honda vehicle does not apply to any part of your vehicle that
has been subject to misuse. Any
part which fails because of overloading is considered misuse. Vehicl
e Certificatio n Labe l
The Certification Label shows the GVWR and the front and rearGAWRs for your vehicle. Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is
the weight of the originally
equipped vehicle and all items added to it after it has left the
factory. This includes the driver
and all occupants, and the load the
vehicle is carrying. The GVW
must not exceed the GVWR. Also,
the front and rear gross axleweight must not exceed the front

Fuse boxes are installed on the left side of the instrument panel and the right side of the engine
compartment. Each fuse box contains spare fuse

cartridges.

Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher ratinggreatly increases the chances of damaging the electrical system. If you do not have a replacement
fuse with the proper rating for the circuit, install one with a lower rating.
