& GVWR and GAWR (Gross

Vehicle Weight Rating and

Gross Axle Weight Rating)

The certification plate attached t o the

driver’s side doorjamb shows GVWR

(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and GAWR

(Gross Axle Weight Rating).

The GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) must

never exceed the GVWR. GVW is the

combined total of weight of the vehicle,

fuel, driver, all passengers, luggage, any

optional equipment and t railer tongue

load. Therefore, the GVW changes de-

pending on the situation. The GVWR

equals Curb Weight (actual weight of your

vehicle – including standard equipment,

fluids, emergency tools and spare tire

assembly) plus the v ehicle capacity

weight.

In addition, the total weight applied to

each axle (GAW) must never exceed the

GAWR. The front and rear GAWs can be

adjusted by relocating luggage inside the

vehicle.

Even if the total weight of your luggage is

lower than the vehicle capacity weight,

either front or rear GAW may exceed the

GAWR, depending on the distribution of

the luggage.

When possible, the load should be evenly

distributed throughout the vehicle.

If you carry heavy loads in the vehicle, you

should confirm that GVW and front and

rear GAWs are within the GVWR and

GAWR by putting your vehicle on a

vehicle scale, found at a commercial

weighing station.

Do not use replacement tires with a lower

load range than the originals because they

may lower the GVWR and GAWR limita-

tions. Replacement tires with a higher load

range than the originals do not increase

the GVWR and GAWR limitations.

& Roof rail and crossbar (if

equipped)

1) Crossbar kit

The roof rail is not designed to carry cargo

by itself. Cargo can be carried after

securing the roof crossbar kit to the roof

rail and installing the appropriate carrying

attachment. When installing the roof

crossbar kit, follow the manufacturer’s

instructions.

When you carry cargo on the roof using

the roof crossbar kit and a carryi ng

attachment, never exceed the maximum

load limit explained in the following. You

should also be careful that your vehicle

does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight

Rating (GVWR) and front and rear Gross

Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). See the
