Certification Label and Tire and Load Information Label:

WARNING

Overloaded Vehicle:

Overloading a vehicl e is dangerous. The results of overloading can have serious

consequences in terms of passenger safety. Too much weight on a vehicle's suspension

system can cause spring or shock absorber failure, brake failure, handling or steering

problems, irregular tire wear, tire failure or other damage.

Overloading makes a vehicle harder to drive and control. It also increases the dist ance

required for stopping. In cases of serious overloading, brakes can fail completely,

particularly on steep grades. The load a tire will carry safely is a combination of the

size of the tire, its load range, and corresponding inflation pressure.

Never overload the vehicle an d always observe the veh icle's weight ratings from the

vehicle's Safety Certification and Tire and Load Information labels.

Base Curb Weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all

standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment .
