INFORMATION

Technical and consumer information 9-11

墌 04.6.10/T30-J/V5.0 墍

쐌 GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) -

maximum total combined weight of the un-

loaded vehicle, passengers, luggage, hitch,

trailer tongue load and any other optional

equipment. This information is located on the

C.M.V.S.S. label.

쐌 GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) - maxi-

mum weight (load) limit specified for the front

or rear axle. This information is located on the

C.M.V.S.S. label.

쐌 GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) -

The maximum total weight rating of the ve-

hicle, passengers, cargo, and trailer.

쐌 Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load limit, Total

load capacity - maximum total weight limit

specified of the load (passengers and cargo)

for the vehicle. This is the maximum com-

bined weight of occupants 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.

쐌 Cargo capacity - permissible weight of cargo,

the subtracted weight of occupants from the

load limit.

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY

Do not exceed the load limit of your vehicle

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

Loading Information label.

To get “The combined weight of occupants and

cargo”, add the weight of all occupants, then

add the total luggage weight. Examples are

shown in the illustration.

Steps for determining correct load

limit

(1)Locate the statement “The combined weight

of occupants and cargo should never exceed

XXX pounds or XXX kilograms” on your

vehicle’s placard.

(2)Determine the combined weight of the driver

and passengers that will be riding in your

vehicle.

(3)Subtract the combined weight of the driver

and passengers from XXX pounds or XXX

kilograms.

(4)The resulting figure equals the available

amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.

For example, if the “XXX” amount equals

1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb.

passengers in your vehicle, the amount of

available cargo and luggage load capacity is

650 lbs. [1,400 − 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.]

(5)Determine the combined weight of luggage

and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. For

safety, that weight must not exceed the avail-

able cargo and luggage load capacity calcu-

lated in Step 4.

(6)If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load

from your trailer will be transferred to your

vehicle. Consult this manual to determine

how this reduces the available cargo and

luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

LOADING TIPS

There are luggage hooks located in the cargo

area. The luggage hooks can be used to secure

cargo with ropes or other types of straps.

쐌 The GVW must not exceed GVWR or

GAWR as specified on the C.M.V.S.S. certi-

fication label.

쐌 Do not load the front and rear axle to the

GAWR. Doing so will exceed the GVWR.

WARNING

쐌 Properly secure all cargo to help pre-

vent it from sliding or shifting. Do not

place cargo higher than the seat-

backs. In a sudden stop or collision,

unsecured cargo could cause per-

sonal injury.

쐌 Do not load your vehicle any heavier

than the GVWR or the maximum front

and rear GAWRs. If you do, parts on

your vehicle can break, or it can

change the way your vehicle handles.

This could result in loss of control

and cause personal injury.

쐌 Overloading not only can shorten the

life of your vehicle and the tire, but

can also cause unsafe vehicle han-

dling and longer braking distances.

This may cause a premature tire fail-

ure which could result in a serious

accident and personal injury. Failures

caused by overloading are not cov-

ered by the vehicle’s warranty.

PAYLOAD WEIGHT CAPACITY

The payload weight capacity is the maximum

total weight of passengers, optional equipment

(air conditioning, trailer hitch, etc.) and cargo

that your vehicle is designed to carry.

Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm that you

do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

(GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating

(GAWR) for your vehicle. See “Vehicle loading

information” earlier in this section for details.

Also check tires for proper inflation pressures.

See the Tire and Loading Information label af-

fixed to the driver’s side center pillar.
