STARTING AND OPERATING

The best way to figure out the total weight of your

vehicle is to weigh it when it is fully loaded and

ready for operation. Weigh it on a commercial scale

to ensure that it is not over the GVWR.
Figure out the weight on the front and rear of the

vehicle separately. It is important that you

distribute the load evenly over the front and rear

axles.
Overloading can cause potential safety hazards

and shorten useful service life. Heavier axles or

suspension components do not necessarily

increase the vehicle's GVWR.

OADING

To load your vehicle properly, first figure out its

empty weight, axle-by-axle and side-by-side. Store

heavier items down low and be sure you distribute

their weight as evenly as possible. Stow all loose

items securely before driving. If weighing the

loaded vehicle shows that you have exceeded

either GAWR, but the total load is within the

specified GVWR, you must redistribute the weight.

Improper weight distribution can have an adverse

effect on the way your vehicle steers and handles

and the way the brakes operate.

NOTE:



Refer to the “Vehicle Certification Label” affixed

to the rear of the driver's door for your vehicle's

GVWR and GAWRs

page 119.



Refer to the “Tire Placard” for your vehicle's

proper tire pressure.

TRAILER TOWING

In this section you will find safety tips and

information on limits to the type of towing you can

reasonably do with your vehicle. Before towing a

trailer, carefully review this information to tow your

load as efficiently and safely as possible.
To maintain the New Vehicle Limited Warranty

coverage, follow the requirements and

recommendations in this manual concerning

vehicles used for trailer towing.

OMMON

OWING

EFINITIONS

The following trailer towing related definitions will

assist you in understanding the following

information:

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your

vehicle. This includes driver, passengers, cargo

and tongue weight. The total load must be limited

so that you do not exceed the GVWR

page 120.

Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)

The GTW is the weight of the trailer plus the weight

of all cargo, consumables, and equipment

(permanent or temporary) loaded in or on the

trailer in its "loaded and ready for operation"

condition.
The recommended way to measure GTW is to put

your fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale. The

entire weight of the trailer must be supported by

the scale.

STARTING AND OPERATING

121

Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR)

The GCWR is the total allowable weight of your

vehicle and trailer when weighed in combination.

Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)

The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front

and rear axles. Distribute the load over the front

and rear axles evenly. Make sure that you do not

exceed either front or rear GAWR

page 120.

Tongue Weight (TW)

The tongue weight is the downward force exerted

on the hitch ball by the trailer. You must consider

this as part of the load on your vehicle.

Trailer Frontal Area

The frontal area is the maximum height multiplied

by the maximum width of the front of a trailer.

Trailer Sway Control

The Trailer Sway Control (TSC) can be a mechanical

telescoping link that can be installed between the

hitch receiver and the trailer tongue that typically

provides adjustable friction associated with the

telescoping motion to dampen any unwanted

trailer swaying motions while traveling.
If equipped, the electronic TSC recognizes a

swaying trailer and automatically applies individual

wheel brakes and/or reduces engine power to

attempt to eliminate the trailer sway.

Weight-Carrying Hitch

A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue

weight, just as if it were luggage located at a hitch

ball or some other connecting point of the vehicle.

These kinds of hitches are the most popular on the

market today and they are commonly used to tow

small and medium sized trailers.

Weight-Distributing Hitch

A weight-distributing system works by applying

leverage through spring (load) bars. They are

typically used for heavier loads to distribute trailer

tongue weight to the tow vehicle's front axle and

the trailer axle(s). When used in accordance with

the manufacturer's directions, it provides for a

more level ride, offering more consistent steering

and brake control thereby enhancing towing

safety. The addition of a friction/hydraulic sway

control also dampens sway caused by traffic and

crosswinds and contributes positively to tow

vehicle and trailer stability. Trailer sway control and

a weight distributing (load equalizing) hitch are

recommended for heavier Tongue Weights (TW)

and may be required depending on vehicle and

trailer configuration/loading to comply with Gross

Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) requirements.

WARNING!

It is important that you do not exceed the

maximum front or rear GAWR. A dangerous

driving condition can result if either rating is

exceeded. You could lose control of the vehicle

and have a collision.

WARNING!



An improperly adjusted Weight Distributing

Hitch system may reduce handling, stability,

braking performance, and could result in a

collision.



Weight Distributing Systems may not be

compatible with Surge Brake Couplers.

Consult with your hitch and trailer manufac

turer or a reputable Recreational Vehicle

dealer for additional information.

Weight Distribution

Consider the following items when computing the

weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:



The tongue weight of the trailer.



The weight of any other type of cargo or equip

ment put in or on your vehicle.



The weight of the driver and all passengers.

NOTE:

Remember that everything put into or on the trailer

adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional

factory-installed options or dealer-installed options

must be considered as part of the total load on

your vehicle. Refer to the “Tire And Loading Infor

mation” placard for the maximum combined

weight of occupants and cargo for your vehicle.

OWING

EQUIREMENTS

To promote proper break-in of your new vehicle

drivetrain components, the following guidelines

are recommended.

Perform the maintenance listed in the “Scheduled

Servicing”

page 210. When towing a trailer,

never exceed the GAWR or GCWR ratings.

WARNING!



Make certain that the load is secured in the

trailer and will not shift during travel. When

trailering cargo that is not fully secured,

dynamic load shifts can occur that may be

difficult for the driver to control. You could lose

control of your vehicle and have a collision.



When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not

overload your vehicle or trailer. Overloading can

cause a loss of control, poor performance or

damage to brakes, axle, engine, transmission,

steering, suspension, chassis structure or tires.



Safety chains must always be used between

your vehicle and trailer. Always connect the

chains to the hook retainers of the vehicle

hitch. Cross the chains under the trailer

tongue and allow enough slack for turning

corners.



Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on

a grade. When parking, apply the parking

brake on the tow vehicle. Put the tow vehicle

transmission in PARK. Always, block or

"chock" the trailer wheels.



GCWR must not be exceeded.



Total weight must be distributed between the

tow vehicle and the trailer such that the

following four ratings are not exceeded:



Max loading as defined on the “Tire and

Loading Information” placard.

Towing Requirements — Tires



Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a

compact spare tire.



Do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h) when

towing while using a full size spare tire.



Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to

the safe and satisfactory operation of your

vehicle.



Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation

pressures before trailer usage.



Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire

damage before towing a trailer.



For the proper tire replacement procedures.

Replacing tires with a higher load carrying

capacity will not increase the vehicle's GVWR

and GAWR limits.



For further information

page 242.

Towing Requirements — Trailer Brakes



Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake system

or vacuum system of your vehicle with that of

the trailer. This could cause inadequate braking

and possible personal injury.



An electronically actuated trailer brake

controller is required when towing a trailer with

electronically actuated brakes. When towing a

trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated

brake system, an electronic brake controller is

not required.



Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers

over 1,000 lb (453 kg) and required for trailers

in excess of 2,000 lb (907 kg).

Towing Requirements — Trailer Lights And

Wiring

Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer

size, stop lights and turn signals on the trailer are

required for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a four- and

seven-pin wiring harness. Use a factory approved

trailer harness and connector.
NOTE:

Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicle’s wiring

harness.

CAUTION!



Do not tow a trailer at all during the first

500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is driven.

The engine, axle or other parts could be

damaged.



Then, during the first 500 miles (805 km) that

a trailer is towed, do not drive over 50 mph

(80 km/h) and do not make starts at full

throttle. This helps the engine and other parts

of the vehicle wear in at the heavier loads.

WARNING!



Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle's

hydraulic brake lines. It can overload your

brake system and cause it to fail. You might

not have brakes when you need them and

could have an accident.



Towing any trailer will increase your stopping

distance. When towing, you should allow for

additional space between your vehicle and the

vehicle in front of you. Failure to do so could

result in an accident.

CAUTION!

If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lb (453 kg)

loaded, it should have its own brakes and they

should be of adequate capacity. Failure to do

this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear,

higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping

distances.

WARNING!

STARTING AND OPERATING

125

The electrical connections are all complete to the

vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer

connector. Refer to the following illustrations.
NOTE:



Disconnect trailer wiring connector from the

vehicle before launching a boat (or any other

device plugged into vehicle’s electrical connect)

into water.



Be sure to reconnect after clear from water

area.

Four-Pin Connector

Seven-Pin Connector

OWING

IPS

Before setting out on a trip, practice turning,

stopping, and backing up the trailer in an area

located away from heavy traffic.

Automatic Transmission

Select the DRIVE range when towing. The

transmission controls include a drive strategy to

avoid frequent shifting when towing. However, if

frequent shifting does occur while in DRIVE, you

can use the AutoStick shift control (if equipped) to

manually select a lower gear.
NOTE:

Using a lower gear while operating the vehicle

under heavy loading conditions will improve perfor

mance and extend transmission life by reducing

excessive shifting and heat buildup. This action will

also provide better engine braking.

Cruise Control — If Equipped



Do not use on hilly terrain or with heavy loads.



When using the Cruise Control, if you experi

ence speed drops greater than 10 mph

(16 km/h), disengage until you can get back to

cruising speed.



Use Cruise Control in flat terrain and with light

loads to maximize fuel efficiency.

STARTING AND OPERATING

AutoStick — If Equipped



When using the AutoStick shift control, select

the highest gear that allows for adequate perfor

mance and avoids frequent downshifts. For

example, choose “5” if the desired speed can be

maintained. Choose “4” or “3” if needed to

maintain the desired speed.



To prevent excess heat generation, avoid

continuous driving at high RPM. Reduce vehicle

speed as necessary to avoid extended driving at

high RPM. Return to a higher gear or vehicle

speed when grade and road conditions allow.

RECREATIONAL TOWING (BEHIND

MOTORHOME)

Recreational towing (with all four wheels on the

ground, or using a tow dolly) is NOT ALLOWED. The

only acceptable method for towing this vehicle

(behind another vehicle) is on a vehicle trailer with

all four wheels OFF the ground.

DRIVING TIPS

RIVING

LIPPERY

URFACES

Information in this section will aid in safe

controlled launches in adverse conditions.

Acceleration

Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other

slippery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to

pull erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon

occurs when there is a difference in the surface

traction under the rear (driving) wheels.

Traction

When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible

for a wedge of water to build up between the tire

and road surface. This is known as hydroplaning

and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle

control and stopping ability. To reduce this

possibility, the following precautions should be

observed:



Slow down during rainstorms or when the roads

are slushy.



Slow down if the road has standing water or

puddles.



Replace tires when tread wear indicators first

become visible.



Keep tires properly inflated.



Maintain sufficient distance between your

vehicle and the vehicle in front of you to avoid a

collision in a sudden stop.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a Limited Slip

Differential (LSD) that reduces, but does not

eliminate, the amount of wheel slip across a given

axle for improved handling.

CAUTION!

Towing this vehicle in violation of the above

requirements can cause severe transmission

and/or transfer case damage. Damage from

improper towing is not covered under the New

Vehicle Limited Warranty.

WARNING!

Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is

dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden

pulling of the front wheels. You could lose

control of the vehicle and possibly have a

collision. Accelerate slowly and carefully

whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice,

snow, wet, mud, loose sand, etc.).

RIVING

HROUGH

ATER

Driving through water more than a few inches/

centimeters deep will require extra caution to

ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle.

Flowing/Rising Water

Shallow Standing Water

Although your vehicle is capable of driving through

shallow standing water, consider the following

Warnings and Cautions before doing so.

WARNING!

Do not drive on or across a road or path where

water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm

run-off). Flowing water can wear away the road

or path's surface and cause your vehicle to sink

into deeper water. Furthermore, flowing and/or

rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly.

Failure to follow this warning may result in

injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your

passengers, and others around you.

WARNING!



Driving through standing water limits your

vehicle’s traction capabilities. Do not exceed

5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through

standing water.



Driving through standing water limits your

vehicle’s braking capabilities, which increases

stopping distances. Therefore, after driving

through standing water, drive slowly and

lightly press on the brake pedal several times

to dry the brakes.



Failure to follow these warnings may result in

injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your

passengers, and others around you.

CAUTION!



Always check the depth of the standing water

before driving through it. Never drive through

standing water that is deeper than the bottom

of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle.



Determine the condition of the road or the

path that is under water and if there are any

obstacles in the way before driving through

the standing water.



Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving

through standing water. This will minimize

wave effects.



Driving through standing water may cause

damage to your vehicle’s drivetrain compo

nents. Always inspect your vehicle’s fluids

(i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle, etc.) for

signs of contamination (i.e., fluid that is milky

or foamy in appearance) after driving through

standing water. Do not continue to operate

the vehicle if any fluid appears contaminated,

as this may result in further damage. Such

damage is not covered by the New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.



Getting water inside your vehicle’s engine can

cause it to lock up and stall out, and cause

serious internal damage to the engine. Such

damage is not covered by the New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.
