Driving your vehicle
To find  out the actual  loads on  your
front and rear  axles, you need to  go
to  a  weigh  station and  weigh  your
vehicle.Your dealer can help you with
this. Be sure to spread out  your load
equally on  both sides  of the center-
line.
(Continued)
Do not  load  your vehicle  any
heavier than the GVWR, either
the   maximum  front   or  rear
GAWR  and   vehicle  capacity
weight.    If
you    do,   parts,
including tires on your vehicle
can break,  and it  can change
the way  your vehicle  handles
and braking ability. This could
cause you to lose  control and
crash.  Also, overloading  can
shorten  the life  of your  vehi-
cle.
WARNING - Over loading
Never  exceed  the  GVWR  for
your  vehicle,  the   GAWR  for
either  the  front  or  rear   axle
and  vehicle  capacity  weight.
Exceeding  these  ratings  can
cause  an accident  or  vehicle
damage.You can calculate the
weight of your  load by weigh-
ing   the   items    (or   people)
before   putting   them  in   the
vehicle. Be careful not to over-
load your vehicle.

the driver's door sill at  the center pil-

much cargo and installed  equipment
your vehicle can carry.

allowable  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  tells  you  the maxi-
mum  weight that  can be  supported

anything  else -  they are  moving  as
fast as the vehicle. If you have to stop
or turn quickly,  or if there is  a crash,

er or a passenger.
