The Tire and Loading Information placard can be found on the driver’s door B-pillar. This
placard tells you important information about the number of people that can be in the
vehicle and the total weight that can be carried in the vehicle. It also contains information
on the proper size and recommended tire inflation pressures for the original equipment
tires on your vehicle.

The certification label, also found on the driver’s door B-pillar. It tells you about the gross
weight capacity of your vehicle, called the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The GVWR
includes the weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. The certification label
also tells you about the front and rear axle weight capacity, called the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR).
The GAWR is the total allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear).
Never exceed the GVWR or GAWR for either the front axle or rear axle.
