Mercedes Benz 2007 r 320 cdi User Manual

Two labels on your vehicle show how much 
weight it may properly carry. 

앫

The Tire and Loading Information 
placard can be found on the driver’s 
door B-pillar. This placard tells you im-
portant information about the number 
of people that can be in the vehicle and 
the total weight that can be carried in 
the vehicle. It also contains information 
on the proper size and recommended 
tire inflation pressures for the original 
equipment tires on your vehicle.

앫

The certification label, also found on 
the driver’s door B-pillar tells you about 
the gross weight capacity of your vehi-
cle, called the Gross Vehicle Weight 
Rating (GVWR). The GVWR includes the 
weight of the vehicle, all occupants, 
fuel and cargo. The certification label 
also tells you about the front and rear 
axle weight capacity, called the Gross 
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). The GAWR 
is the total allowable weight that can be 
carried by a single axle (front or rear). 
Never exceed the GVWR or GAWR for 
either the front axle or rear axle.

with the information contained on the 
placard with regards to loading your 
vehicle.
