The other label is the Certification label, found
on
the rear edge
of
the
driver’s door. It tells you the gross weight capacity
of
your vehicle, called
the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight
of
the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load,
you
should spread it out. Don’t carry
more than
127

I-
Do
not load
your
vehicle any heavier than the

it can change the
way
your vehicle handles.
These could
cause
you
