Certification Label

The certification label is located on the driver's door B-pillar.

This label shows the maximum permissible weight of the fully loaded vehicle. This is called the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel, and cargo.

This label also shows the maximum weight that can be supported by the front and rear axles, called the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).

To determine the actual loads on your front and rear axles, drive to a weigh station and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can assist you with this. Be sure to distribute the load evenly on both sides of the centerline.

WARNING - Overloading

Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, the GAWR for the front or rear axle, or the vehicle's load capacity. Exceeding these values may affect the handling and braking performance of your vehicle.

This label will help you determine how much cargo and equipment your vehicle can carry.

If you carry items in the vehicle, such as suitcases, tools, bags, or anything else, they will move as fast as the vehicle. If you need to stop or turn suddenly, or if a collision occurs, the items will continue moving and may cause injury if they strike the driver or a passenger.

WARNING - Overloading

Do not overload your vehicle. Overloading the vehicle may cause heat buildup in the tires and possible tire failure, increased braking distance, and poor vehicle handling, all of which may lead to an accident.

✽ NOTICE

Overloading the vehicle may cause damage. Repairs are not covered under your warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.
