Certification label
! Gross Axle Weight( GAW) and Gross Axle Weight Rating( GAWR) s08al0203
The total weight applied to each axle( GAW) must never exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating( GAWR). The front and rear GAWs can be adjusted by relocating passengers and luggage inside the vehicle. The front and rear GAWR of your vehicle that are set by SUBARU are also shown on the certification label.
To check both GVWR and GAWR and to confirm that the total weight and weight distribution are within safe driving limits, you should have your vehicle and trailer weighed at a commercial weighing station.
Be sure that all cargo is firmly secured to prevent a change in weight distribution while driving.

WARNING
If the trailer is loaded with more weight in the back of trailer’ s axle than in the front, the load is taken off the rear axle of the towing vehicle. This may cause the rear wheels to skid, especially during braking or when vehicle speed is reduced during cornering, resulting in oversteer, spin out and / or jackknifing.
Ensure that the trailer tongue load is from 8 % to 11 % of the total trailer weight and does not exceed the maximum value.
For details about the trailer tongue load, refer to“ Total trailer weight” FP474.
