PAYLOAD WEIGHT CAPACITY
The payload weight capacity is the maximum
total weight of passengers, optional equip-
ment (air conditioning, trailer hitch, etc.) and
cargo that your vehicle is designed to carry.
Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm that
you do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for your vehicle. See “Vehicle
loading information” earlier in this section for
details.
Also check tires for proper inflation pressures.
See the tire placard affixed to the glove box
lid.

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS
Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts
that could affect the balance of your vehicle.
When the vehicle is loaded, drive to a scale
and weight the front and the rear wheels
separately to determine axle loads. Individual
axle loads should not exceed either of the
gross axle weight ratings (GAWR). The total of
the axle loads should not exceed the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR). These ratings
are given on the vehicle certification label that
is located on the driver’s door lock pillar. If
weight ratings are exceeded, move or remove
items to bring all weights below the ratings.
CAUTION
Overloading can shorten the life of
your vehicle. Failures caused by
overloading are not covered by your
warranty.
