Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the

certification label.

Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the

originals because they may lower the vehicle’s GVWR and GAWR

limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do

not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations.

The Safety Certification Label, found on the driver’s door pillar, lists

several important vehicle weight rating limitations. Before adding any

additional equipment, refer to these limitations. If you are adding weight

to the front of your vehicle, (potentially including weight added to the

cab), the weight added should not exceed the front axle reserve capacity

(FARC). Additional frontal weight may be added to the front axle reserve

capacity provided you limit your payload in other ways (i.e. restrict the

number of occupants or amount of cargo carried).

Always ensure that the weight of occupants, cargo and equipment being

carried is within the weight limitations that have been established for

your vehicle including both gross vehicle weight and front and rear gross

axle weight rating limits. Under no circumstance should these limitations

be exceeded.

Exceeding any vehicle weight rating limitation could result in

serious damage to the vehicle loss of vehicle control, vehicle

rollover, and/or personal injury.

TRAILER TOWING

Your vehicle is capable of towing a trailer up to 454 kg (1,000 lbs.) gross

trailer weight with a maximum tongue load of 45 kg (100 lbs.). Do not

tow a trailer until your vehicle has been driven at least 800 km (500

miles).

Towing a trailer places an additional load on your vehicle’s engine,

transaxle, brakes, tires and suspension. Inspect these components

carefully after towing.

Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the

certification label.
