Example 3
1. Vehicle Capacity Weight
for Example 3 = 453 kg
(1,000lbs).
2. Subtract Occupant Weight
@ 91 kg (200 lbs) × 5 =
453kg (1,000lbs).

0kg (0lbs).
Refer to the vehicle's Tire and
Loading Information label for
specific information about the
vehicle's capacity weight and
seating positions. The combined
weight of the driver, passengers,
and cargo should never exceed
the vehicle's capacity weight.
Certification Label
Label Example
A vehicle-specific Certification
label, found on the vehicle
center pillar (B-pillar), tells you
the gross weight capacity of the
vehicle, called the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). The
GVWR includes the weight of
the vehicle, all occupants, fuel,
and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR for the vehicle, or the
Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for either the front or
rear axle.
If the vehicle is a professional
vehicle, the vehicle-specific
certification label is provided by
the final stage manufacturer.
The coach-builder should be
consulted if the final stage
manufacturer's label is not
present. The Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) label
should be on the center pillar
(B-pillar).
And, if you do have a heavy
load, you should spread it out.
See “Steps for Determining
Correct Load Limit”earlier in this
section.
