Driving your vehicle
VEHICLE  WEIGHT
This section will  guide you in  the proper
loading of  your  vehicle and/or  trailer, to
keep your loaded vehicle weight within its
design rating capability, with or  without a
trailer. Properly  loading your  vehicle will
provide  maximum  return of  the  vehicle
design performance. Before loading your
vehicle,  familiarize yourself  with the  fol-
lowing  terms for  determining  your vehi-
cle's  weight  ratings,  with  or   without  a
trailer,  from  the  vehicle's  specifications
and the certification label:
Cargo weight
GVWR (Gross vehicle weight rating)
This figure  includes all  weight added  to
the  Base Curb  Weight,  including  cargo
and optional equipment.
This is the maximum allowable  weight of
the  fully   loaded  vehicle   (including   all
options,   equipment,   passengers    and
cargo). The GVWR is shown  on the cer-
tification label  located on the driver’s  (or
front passenger’s) door sill.
GAW (Gross axle weight)
This is  the  total weight  placed on  each
axle  (front and  rear) -  including  vehicle
curb weight and all payload.
Overloading
GAWR (Gross axle weight rating)
WARNING - Vehicle weight
This  is  the  maximum  allowable  weight
that can be carried by a single axle (front
or  rear). These  numbers are  shown  on
the certification label.
The total  load on  each axle  must never
exceed its GAWR.
The

weight rating (GVWR) for your vehi-
cle  are   on  the   certification  label
attached  to   the  driver's  (or   front
passenger’s) door. Exceeding these
ratings  can  cause  an  accident  or
vehicle  damage. You can  calculate
the weight of your load by weighing
the  items (and  people) before  put-
ting them in  the vehicle. Be  careful
not to overload your vehicle.

a full tank of fuel  and all standard equip-
ment.  It  does  not  include  passengers,
