loading  of  your   vehicle,  to  keep   your

rating  capability.  Properly  loading  your
vehicle  will  provide maximum  return  of
the  vehicle design  performance.  Before
loading your  vehicle, familiarize  yourself
with the  following  terms for  determining
your  vehicle's  weight  ratings,  from  the
vehicle's specifications and  the certifica-
tion label:
