Tire and Loading Information Label

Label Example

Vehicle Certification/Tire Label is attached to the center pillar (B-pillar).

The label may show the size of the original tires and the inflation pressure needed to achieve the vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating. The label shows the total weight capacity of the vehicle. This is called the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle, all passengers, fuel, and cargo.

The Certification/Tire Label may also show the maximum weights for the front and rear axles, called the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To find the actual loads on the front and rear axles, weigh the vehicle at a weigh station. Your dealer can help with this. Be sure to distribute the load evenly on both sides of the centerline.

• Place items in the cargo area of the vehicle. Place them in the cargo compartment as far forward as possible. Try to distribute the weight evenly.
• Never stack heavy items, such as suitcases, inside the vehicle so that some of them are higher than the tops of the seatbacks.
• Do not leave an unsecured child restraint in the vehicle.
• Secure loose items in the vehicle.
• Do not leave the vehicle unattended unless necessary.
