The bar code allows a computer scanner to read the

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle.

This includes driver, passengers, and cargo. The total

load must be limited so that you do not exceed the

GVWR.
Tire Size
The tire size on the Vehicle Certification Label represents

the actual tire size on your vehicle. Replacement tires

must be equal to the load capacity of this tire size.
Rim Size
This is the rim size that is appropriate for the tire size

listed.

Inflation Pressure
This is the cold tire inflation pressure for your vehicle for

all loading conditions up to full GAWR.
Curb Weight
The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total weight

of the vehicle with all fluids, including vehicle fuel, at full

capacity conditions, and with no occupants or cargo

loaded into the vehicle. The front and rear curb weight

values are determined by weighing your vehicle on a

commercial scale before any occupants or cargo are

added.
Overloading
The load carrying components (springs, tires, wheels,

etc.) of your vehicle will provide satisfactory service as

long as you do not exceed the GVWR.
