Loading
To load your vehicle properly, first figure out its empty

weight, axle-by-axle and side-by-side. Store heavier items

down low and be sure you distribute their weight as

evenly as possible. Stow all loose items securely before

driving. If weighing the loaded vehicle shows that you

have exceeded either GAWR, but the total load is within

the specified GVWR, you must redistribute the weight.

Improper weight distribution can have an adverse effect

on the way your vehicle steers and handles and the way

the brakes operate.
NOTE:

Refer to the “Vehicle Certification Label” affixed

to the rear of the driver’s door for your vehicle’s GVWR

and GAWRs.
