hicle Weight Ratings (GVWR) , Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) , month and year of
manufacture, Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) , etc. Review it carefully.

3. Remove the license plate bracket1and
connect the arcs from the ovals. Mark the
point in the center of each oval. These are the
screw installation locations.
4. Install the license plate with two 0.23 in (6 mm) screws.
WARNING
•
It is extremely dangerous to ride
in the cargo area inside the ve-
hicle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
•Do not allow people to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is
not equipped with seats and seat
belts.
•Be sure everyone in your vehicle
is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
TERMS
It is important to familiarize yourself with
the following terms before loading your
vehicle:
• Curb Weight (actual weight of your ve- hicle) - vehicle weight including: stan-
dard and optional equipment, fluids and
emergency tools. This weight does not
include passengers and cargo. • GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb
weight plus the combined weight of pas-
sengers and cargo.
• GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) - maximum total combined weight of the
unloaded vehicle, passengers, luggage,
hitch, trailer tongue load and any other
optional equipment. This information is
located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.
label.
• GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) - maximum weight (load) limit specified
for the front or rear axle.
•This information is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label.
• GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rat- ing) - The maximum total weight rating of
the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and
trailer.
• Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit, To- tal load capacity - maximum total weight
limit specified of the load (passengers
and cargo) for the vehicle. This is the
VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION
Technical and consumer information9-9

maximum combined weight of occu-
pants and cargo that can be loaded into
the vehicle. If the vehicle is used to tow a
trailer, the trailer tongue weight must be
included as part of the cargo load. This
information is located on the Tire and
Loading Information label.
• Cargo capacity - permissible weight of cargo, the subtracted weight of occu-
pants from the load limit.VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY
Do not exceed the load limit of your ve-
hicle shown as “The combined weight of
occupants and cargo” on the Tire and
Loading Information label. Do not exceed
the number of occupants shown as
“Seating Capacity” on the Tire and Load-
ing Information label.
To get “the combined weight of occu-
pants and cargo”, add the weight of all
occupants, then add the total luggage
weight. Examples are shown in the follow-
ing illustration.

Technical and consumer information

Steps for determining correct load
limit1. Locate the statement “The combinedweight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on
your vehicle’s Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label. 2. Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be rid-
ing in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the avail- able amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity. For example, if the XXX
amount equals 1400 lbs. and there
will be five 150 lb. passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 − 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or
(640 − 340 (5 x 70) = 300 kg.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity calculated in
Step 4.
Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm
that you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Technical and consumer information9-11

Weight Rating (GAWR) for your vehicle.
For additional information, refer to “Mea-
surement of weights” in this section.
Also check tires for proper inflation pres-
sures. For additional information, refer to
the “Tire and Loading Information label” in
this section.
LOADING TIPS
• The GVW must not exceed the GVWRor GAWR as specified on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
• Do not load the front and rear axle to the GAWR. Doing so will exceed the
GVWR.
WARNING
•
Properly secure all cargo with
ropes or straps to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not
place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
•Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR or the
maximum front and rear GAWRs.
If you do, parts of your vehicle
can break, tire damage could oc-
cur, or it can change the way your
vehicle handles. This could result
in loss of control and cause per-
sonal injury.
•Overloading not only can
shorten the life of your vehicle
and the tire, but can cause un-
safe vehicle handling and longer
braking distances. This may
cause a premature tire failure,
which could result in a serious
accident and personal injury.
Failures caused by overloading
are not covered by the vehicle’s
warranty.
MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS
Secure loose items to prevent weight
shifts that could affect the balance of your
vehicle. When the vehicle is loaded, drive
to a scale and weigh the front and the rear
wheels separately to determine axle
loads. Individual axle loads should not ex-
ceed either of the Gross Axle Weight
Ratings (GAWR) . The total of the axle
loads should not exceed the Gross Ve-
hicle Weight Rating (GVWR) . These rat-
ings are given on the vehicle certification
label. If weight ratings are exceeded,
move or remove items to bring all weights
below the ratings.
