Hyundai Santa Fe: Driving your vehicle / Vehicle load limit
Two labels on your driver’s door sill show how much weight your vehicle was designed
to carry: the Tire and Loading Information Label and the Certification Label.
Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for
determining your vehicle’s weight ratings, from the vehicle’s specifications and
the Certification Label:
Base Curb Weight
This 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.
Vehicle Curb Weight
This is the weight of your new vehicle when you picked it up from your dealer
plus any aftermarket equipment.
Cargo Weight
This figure includes all weight added to the Base Curb Weight, including cargo
and optional equipment.
GAW (Gross Axle Weight)
This is the total weight placed on each axle (front and rear) - including vehicle
curb weight and all payload.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
This is the maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front
or rear). These numbers are shown on the Certification Label. The total load on
each axle must never exceed its GAWR.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)
This is the Base Curb Weight plus actual Cargo Weight plus passengers.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
This is the maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including all
options, equipment, passengers and cargo). The GVWR is shown on the Certification
Label located on the driver’s door sill.
Your vehicle will need service more often when you regularly pull a trailer.
Important items to pay particular attention to include engine oil, transmission
fluid, axle lubricant and cooling system fluid...
The label located on the driver’s door sill gives the original tire size, cold
tire pressures recommended for your vehicle, the number of people that can be in
your vehicle and vehicle capacity weight...
