Certiﬁcation Label

A vehicle speciﬁc Certiﬁcation

label, found on the rear edge

of the driver’s door, tells you the

gross weight capacity of the

vehicle, called the Gross Vehicle

Weight Rating (GVWR). The

GVWR includes the weight

of the vehicle, all occupants,

fuel, and cargo. Never exceed

the GVWR for your vehicle,

or the Gross Axle Weight Rating

(GAWR) for either the front or

rear axle.

And, if you do have a heavy

load, you should spread it out.

See “Steps for Determining

Correct Load Limit” earlier in this

section.

{ CAUTION

Do not load the vehicle any

heavier than the Gross Vehicle

Weight Rating (GVWR), or

either the maximum front or

rear Gross Axle Weight Rating

(GAWR). If you do, parts on

the vehicle can break, and it

can change the way your

vehicle handles. These could

cause you to lose control and

crash. Also, overloading can

shorten the life of the vehicle.

If you put things inside your

vehicle — like suitcases,

tools, packages, or anything

else — they will go as fast as the

vehicle goes. If you have to stop

or turn quickly, or if there is a

crash, they will keep going.

{ CAUTION

Things you put inside the

vehicle can strike and injure

people in a sudden stop or

turn, or in a crash.

• Put things in the trunk of

your vehicle. In a trunk,

put them as far forward as

you can. Try to spread the

weight evenly.

• Never stack heavier

things, like suitcases,

inside the vehicle so that

some of them are above

the tops of the seats.

• Do not leave an

unsecured child restraint in

the vehicle.

• When you carry something

inside the vehicle, secure

it whenever you can.

• Do not leave a seat folded

down unless you need to.
