There is also important loading information on the

Certiﬁcation label. It tells you the Gross Vehicle Weight

Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle Weight Rating

(GAWR) for the front and rear axle; see “Certiﬁcation

Label” later in this section.

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit

1. Locate the “Maximum Load”amount printed on

the Tire and Loading Information label.

2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and

passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and

passengers from the maximum load amount,

shown in pounds and kilograms.

4. The resulting ﬁgure equals the available amount of

cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the

“maximum load” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there

will be ﬁve 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the

amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity

is 650 lbs. (1400 − 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs).

5. Determine the combined weight of luggage

and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That

weight may not safely exceed the available cargo

and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
