Chevrolet 2009 Silverado 1500 Pickup Spezifikationen PDF herunterladen (Seite 364)

The Certiﬁcation/Tire label also tells you the

maximum weights for the front and rear axles,

called Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To ﬁnd

out the actual loads on your front and rear

axles, you need to go to a weigh station and

weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help you with

this. Be sure to spread out your load equally on

both sides of the centerline.

Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, or the

GAWR for either the front or rear axle.

The Certiﬁcation/Tire label also contains important

information about your Front Axle Reserve

Capacity. See “What is front axle reserve capacity,

and how do I calculate it?” under Adding a

Snow Plow or Similar Equipment on page 4-38.

{ CAUTION:

In the case of a sudden stop or collision,

things carried in the bed of your truck could

shift forward and come into the passenger

area, injuring you and others. If you put

things in the bed of your truck, you should

make sure they are properly secured.

{ CAUTION:

Do not load the vehicle any heavier than the

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or

either the maximum front or rear Gross Axle

Weight Rating (GAWR). If you do, parts on

the vehicle can break, and it can change

the way your vehicle handles. These could

cause you to lose control and crash. Also,

overloading can shorten the life of the

vehicle.

Notice

: Overloading your vehicle may cause

damage. Repairs would not be covered by your

warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.

Using heavier suspension components to get

added durability might not change your weight

ratings. Ask your dealer to help you load

your vehicle the right way.

If you put things inside your vehicle — like

suitcases, tools, packages, or anything

else — they go as fast as the vehicle goes.

If you have to stop or turn quickly, or if there is

a crash, they will keep going.
