Dodge Grand Caravan (2020 year). Manual in english

STARTING AND OPERATING

183

The entire vehicle should first be weighed on a

commercial scale to ensure that the GVWR has

not been exceeded. The weight on the front and

rear of the vehicle should then be determined

separately to be sure that the load is properly

distributed over the front and rear axle.

Weighing the vehicle may show that the GAWR

of either the front or rear axles has been

exceeded but the total load is within the

specified GVWR. If so, weight must be shifted

from front to rear or rear to front as appropriate

until the specified weight limitations are met.

Store the heavier items down low and be sure

that the weight is distributed equally. Stow all

loose items securely before driving.
Improper weight distributions can have an

adverse effect on the way your vehicle steers

and handles and the way the brakes operate.

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.

Common Towing Definitions

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.

Refer to “Vehicle Loading” in “Starting And

Operating” for further information.

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.

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. Refer to

“Vehicle Loading” in “Starting And Operating”

for further information.

CAUTION!

Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the

GVWR or the maximum front and rear GAWR.

If you do, parts on your vehicle can break, or

it can change the way your vehicle handles.

This could cause you to lose control. Also

overloading can shorten the life of your

vehicle.

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.

184

STARTING AND OPERATING

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 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 Trailer Sway Control

(TSC) recognizes a swaying trailer and automat

ically 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.

Trailer Hitch Classification

The following chart provides the industry

standard for the maximum trailer weight a given

trailer hitch class can tow and should be used to

assist you in selecting the correct trailer hitch

for your intended towing condition.

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.

CAUTION!

Always load a trailer with 60% of the weight in

the front of the trailer. This places 10% of the

GTW on the tow hitch of your vehicle. Loads

balanced over the wheels or heavier in the

rear can cause the trailer to sway severely

side to side which will cause loss of control of

the vehicle and trailer. Failure to load trailers

heavier in front is the cause of many trailer

collisions.

STARTING AND OPERATING

187

(Continued)

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

equipment 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 Information” placard for

the maximum combined weight of occupants

and cargo for your vehicle.

Towing Requirements

To promote proper break-in of your new vehicle

drivetrain components, the following guidelines

are recommended.

Perform the maintenance listed in the

“Scheduled Servicing”. Refer to “Scheduled

Servicing” in “Servicing And Maintenance” for

the proper maintenance intervals. When towing

a trailer, never exceed the GAWR or GCWR

ratings.

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!



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. Over

loading 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.

188

STARTING AND OPERATING

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. Refer to “Tires” in “Servicing And

Maintenance” for proper tire inflation

procedures.



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. Refer to

“Tires” in “Servicing And Maintenance” for

the proper inspection procedure.



When replacing tires, refer to “Tires” in

“Servicing And Maintenance” for the proper

tire replacement procedures. Replacing tires

with a higher load carrying capacity will not

increase the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR

limits.

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 inad

equate 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 lbs (453 kg) and required for

trailers in excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg).



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. For

four-wheel drive vehicles, make sure the

transfer case is not in NEUTRAL. 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:



GVWR



GTW



GAWR



Tongue weight rating for the trailer

hitch utilized.

WARNING!

(Continued)

WARNING!



Do not connect trailer brakes to your

vehicle's hydraulic brake lines. It can over

load 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 stop

ping 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.

STARTING AND OPERATING

189

Towing Requirements — Trailer Lights And

Wiring

Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the

trailer size, stoplights 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.

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 once clear from water

area.

Towing Tips

Before setting out on a trip, practice turning,

stopping, and backing up the trailer in an area

located away from heavy traffic.

CAUTION!

If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs

(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.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Automatic Transmission

The DRIVE range can be selected when towing.

However, if frequent shifting occurs while in

DRIVE, use the Electronic Range Select (ERS)

shift control to manually select a lower gear

range.

NOTE:

Using a lower gear range while operating the

vehicle under heavy loading conditions, will

improve performance and extend transmission

life by reducing excessive shifting and heat

buildup. This action will also provide better

engine braking.

If you REGULARLY tow a trailer for more than

45 minutes of continuous operation, then

change the transmission fluid and filter as

specified for "police, taxi, fleet, or frequent

trailer towing." Refer to the “Maintenance Plan”

for the proper maintenance intervals.

Electronic Range Select (ERS)



When using the ERS shift control, select the

highest gear that allows for adequate perfor

mance and avoids frequent downshifts. For

example, choose “4” if the desired speed can

be maintained. Choose “3” or “2” 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 range or vehicle speed when

grade and road conditions allow.

Speed Control — If Equipped



Do not use on hilly terrain or with heavy

loads.



When using the Speed Control, if you experi

ence speed drops greater than 10 mph

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

to cruising speed.



Use Speed Control in flat terrain and with

light loads to maximize fuel efficiency.

Cooling System

To reduce potential for engine and transmission

overheating, take the following actions:
City Driving



In city traffic — while stopped, place the trans

mission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase

engine idle speed.

Highway Driving



Reduce speed.



Temporarily turn off air conditioning.

192

STARTING AND OPERATING

DRIVING TIPS

Driving On Slippery Surfaces

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 front (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

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 the 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.

Driving Through Water

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



Towing this vehicle in violation of the above

requirements can cause severe transmis

sion damage. Damage from improper

towing is not covered under the New

Vehicle Limited Warranty.



Do not use a bumper mounted clamp-on

tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper face

bar will be damaged.

CAUTION!

(Continued)

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.).

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.

STARTING AND OPERATING

193

(Continued)

Shallow Standing Water

Although your vehicle is capable of driving

through shallow standing water, consider the

following Warnings and Cautions before doing so.

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.

CAUTION!
