Decoding Your GMC Truck's Safety Compliance Certification Label
Every vehicle, including your GMC Sierra 1500, has a Safety Compliance Certification Label inside the door jamb. This sticker provides essential information about your car, including its manufacturing information. McGuire Buick GMC recommends reading this sticker to familiarize yourself with your vehicle’s specifications and capabilities.
What Is This Sticker?
Also called a door jamb label, the Safety Compliance Certification Label is a sticker that includes vital information about your vehicle. It’s required by law on all new models, so you can easily check your vehicle’s specs and manufacturing information. In addition to its manufacturing date and VIN, it also includes vital weight and component specifications.
Decoding Its Information
You should become familiar with the information and abbreviations included on this label, such as:
• Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): This refers to the maximum weight your vehicle can carry at any time.
• Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): This shows how much weight each truck axle can carry.
• Transmission (TR): This indicates whether your model has auto or manual transmission.
• Tire Size (TIRE): This confirms the tire diameter your truck is rated for.
• Tire Pressure (PSI COLD): This figure tells you your tires’ recommended air pressure rating in PSI; you should always check and fill your tires when cold to prevent blowouts.
What If My Label Is Missing?
Your GMC Sierra 1500 may be eligible for a replacement label if it is missing or damaged. If you need a new label, contact our dealership to see if you can order a new one directly from GMC.
