Gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the weight of the
vehicle and everything it carries. Include the following
items when figuring the GVW:
• The base vehicle weight (factory weight)
• The weight of the vehicle accessories
• The weight of the driver and the passengers
• The weight of the cargo
The gross vehicle weight must not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating.
The front gross axle weight (GAW) is the weight
exerted on the front axle. The rear gross axle
weight (GAW) is the weight exerted on the rear axle.
The front and rear gross axle weights must not
exceed the front and rear gross axle weight ratings.

Rating (GCWR). The Gross Combination Weight
Rating refers to the total maximum weight of
the loaded tow vehicle (including driver and
passengers) and a loaded trailer.
The vehicle's tires must be the proper size and
properly inflated for the load the vehicle is carrying.

vehicle thefts by helping in the tracing and recovery of
parts from stolen vehicles.
The labels are permanently affixed to an interior
surface of the part. The label on a replacement part
contains the letter

DOT symbol.

Fasteners
Metric Fasteners
This vehicle is dimensioned in the metric system. Most
metric fasteners are very close in diameter to well
known fasteners in the English (inch) system. Replace
fasteners with those of the same nominal diameter,
thread pitch, and strength.
A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners
(except cross-recess head screws). The number
also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A
Posidriv® or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a
metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a
Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver, or equivalent, in
Posidriv® recess head screws.
GM Engineering Standards and North American
Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined
standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose of
this was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used
while retaining the best thread qualities
in each
thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw,
with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads
per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28
screws. The thread pitch is midway between the
English coarse and fine thread pitches.
