VEHICLE LOADING

ERTIFICATION

ABEL

As required by National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration regulations, your vehicle has a

certification label affixed to the driver's side door or

pillar.

This label contains the month and year of

manufacture, Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

(GVWR), front and rear Gross Axle Weight Rating

(GAWR), and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

A Month-Day-Hour (MDH) number is included on

this label and indicates the Month, Day and Hour of

manufacture. The bar code that appears on the

bottom of the label is your VIN.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

The GVWR is the total permissible weight of your

vehicle including driver, passengers, vehicle,

options and cargo. The label also specifies

maximum capacities of front and rear Gross Axle

Weight Rating (GAWR). Total load must be limited so

GVWR and front and rear GAWR are not exceeded.

Payload

The payload of a vehicle is defined as the allowable

load weight a truck can carry, including the weight

of the driver, all passengers, options and cargo.

Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)

The GAWR is the maximum permissible load on the

front and rear axles. The load must be distributed

in the cargo area so that the GAWR of each axle is

not exceeded.
Each axle GAWR is determined by the components

in the system with the lowest load carrying capacity

(axle, springs, tires or wheels). Heavier axles or

suspension components sometimes specified by

purchasers for increased durability does not

necessarily increase the vehicle's GVWR.

Tire Size

The tire size on the Vehicle Certification Label

represents the actual tire size on your vehicle.

Replacement tires must be equal to the load

capacity of this tire size.

Rim Size

This is the rim size that is appropriate for the tire

size listed.

Inflation Pressure

This is the cold tire inflation pressure for your

vehicle for all loading conditions up to full GAWR.

Curb Weight

The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total

weight of the vehicle with all fluids, including

vehicle fuel, at full capacity conditions, and with no

occupants or cargo loaded into the vehicle. The

front and rear curb weight values are determined

by weighing your vehicle on a commercial scale

before any occupants or cargo are added.

The actual total weight and the weight of the front

and rear of your vehicle at the ground can best be

determined by weighing it when it is loaded and

ready for operation.

WARNING!



Never have any smoking materials lit in or

near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or

the tank is being filled.



Never add fuel when the engine is running.

This is in violation of most state and federal

fire regulations and may cause the Malfunc

tion Indicator Light to turn on.



A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a

portable container that is inside of a vehicle.

You could be burned. Always place fuel

containers on the ground while filling.

154

STARTING AND OPERATING

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.

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 153.

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

page 153.

Tongue Weight (TW)

The TW 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.

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. 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.

STARTING AND OPERATING

155

Trailer Sway Control (TSC)

The 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 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.

Weight Distribution

Consider the following items when computing the

weight on the front/rear axles of the vehicle:



The trailer 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 authorized

dealer-installed options, must be considered as

part of the total load on your vehicle. Refer to the

tire loading information placard located on the

driver’s door pillar 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 Scheduled

Servicing and the proper maintenance intervals

page 267. 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. Overloading

can cause a loss of control, poor performance

or damage to brakes, axle, engine, transmis

sion, 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.

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.



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.



Replacing tires with a higher load carrying

capacity will not increase the vehicle's GVWR

and GAWR limits.



For further information

page 298.

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).



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.

STARTING AND OPERATING

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.

Four-Pin Connector

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.

OAD

RIVING

IPS

Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a

narrower track to make them capable of

performing in a wide variety of off-road

applications. Specific design characteristics give

them a higher center of gravity than conventional

passenger cars.
An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a

better view of the road, allowing you to anticipate

problems. They are not designed for cornering at

the same speeds as conventional passenger cars

any more than low-slung sports cars are designed

to perform satisfactorily in off-road conditions.

Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with

other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this

vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or

vehicle rollover.

-R

OAD

RIVING

IPS

When To Use 4WD LOW Range

When off-road driving, shift to 4WD LOW for

additional traction and control on slippery or

difficult terrain, ascending or descending steep

hills, and to increase low-speed pulling power

page 112. This range should be limited to

extreme situations such as deep snow, mud, or

sand where additional low speed pulling power is

needed. Vehicle speeds in excess of 25 mph

(40 km/h) should be avoided when in 4WD LOW

range.

Driving Through Water

Although your vehicle is capable of driving through

water, there are a number of precautions that

must be considered before entering the water:

Driving through water more than a few inches/

centimeters deep will require extra caution to

ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle.

If you must drive through water, try to determine

the depth and the bottom condition (and location

of any obstacles) prior to entering. Proceed with

caution and maintain a steady controlled speed

less than 5 mph (8 km/h) in deep water to

minimize wave effects.

CAUTION!



Towing with the front wheels on the ground

will cause severe transmission damage.

Damage from improper towing is not covered

under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.



Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is

released, and remains released, while being

towed.



Do not use a bumper mounted clamp-on tow

bar on your vehicle. The fascia/bumper face

will be damaged.

CAUTION!

Towing this vehicle with ANY of its wheels on the

ground can cause severe transmission and/or

power transfer unit damage. Damage from

improper towing is not covered under the

New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

CAUTION!

When driving through water, do not exceed

5 mph (8 km/h). Always check water depth

before entering as a precaution, and check all

fluids afterward. Driving through water may

cause damage that may not be covered by the

New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

162

STARTING AND OPERATING

Flowing Water
If the water is swift flowing and rising (as in storm

run-off) avoid crossing until the water level recedes

and/or the flow rate is reduced. If you must cross

flowing-water, avoid depths in excess of 9 inches

(22 cm). The flowing water can erode the

streambed causing your vehicle to sink into deeper

water. Determine exit point(s) that are downstream

of your entry point to allow for drifting.
Standing Water
Avoid driving in standing water deeper than

16 inches (40.5 cm), and reduce speed

appropriately to minimize wave effects. Maximum

speed in 16 inches (40.5 cm) of water is less than

5 mph (8 km/h).
(Trailhawk only): Avoid driving in standing water

deeper than 19 inches (48 cm), and reduce speed

appropriately to minimize wave effects. Maximum

speed in 19 inches (48 cm) of water is less than

5 mph (8 km/h).
Maintenance
After driving through deep water, inspect your

vehicle fluids and lubricants (engine, transmission,

Power Transfer Unit, and Rear Drive Module) to

ensure they have not been contaminated.

Contaminated fluids and lubricants (milky, foamy

in appearance) should be flushed/changed as

soon as possible to prevent component damage.

Driving In Snow, Mud And Sand

In heavy snow, when pulling a load, or for

additional control at slower speeds, shift the

transmission to a low gear and shift the 4WD

system to the appropriate terrain mode, using

4WD LOW if necessary

page 112. Do not shift to

a lower gear than necessary to maintain headway.

Over-revving the engine can spin the wheels and

traction will be lost.
Avoid abrupt downshifts on icy or slippery roads

because engine braking may cause skidding and

loss of control.

Hill Climbing

NOTE:

Before attempting to climb a hill, determine the

conditions at the crest and/or on the other side.
Before climbing a steep hill, shift the transmission

to a lower gear and shift the 4WD System to 4WD

LOW. Use FIRST gear and 4WD LOW for very steep

hills.
NOTE:

Brakes should be applied at increased slippage,

but before coming to a stop to avoid digging into

the loose surface and rendering the operator of the

vehicle stuck/immobile.

If you stall or begin to lose headway while climbing

a steep hill, allow your vehicle to come to a stop

and immediately apply the brakes. Once stopped,

shift to REVERSE. Back slowly down the hill

allowing the compression braking of the engine to

help regulate your speed. If the brakes are

required to control vehicle speed, apply them

lightly and avoid locking or skidding the tires.

NOTE:

Remember, never drive diagonally across a hill -

drive straight up or down.
If the wheels start to slip as you approach the crest

of a hill, ease off the accelerator and maintain

headway by turning the front wheels slowly left and

right. This may provide a fresh “bite” into the

surface and may provide traction to complete the

climb.

WARNING!

If the engine stalls or you lose headway or

cannot make it to the top of a steep hill or grade,

never attempt to turn around. To do so may

result in tipping and rolling the vehicle. Always

back straight down a hill in REVERSE gear

carefully. Never back down a hill in NEUTRAL

using only the brake.

STARTING AND OPERATING

163

Traction Downhill

Shift the transmission into a low gear and the 4WD

System to 4WD LOW range or select Hill Descent

Control (if equipped)

page 191. Let the vehicle

go slowly down the hill with all four wheels turning

against engine compression drag. This will permit

you to control the vehicle speed and direction.
When descending mountains or hills, repeated

braking can cause brake fade with loss of braking

control. Avoid repeated heavy braking by

downshifting the transmission whenever possible.

After Driving Off-Road

Off-road operation puts more stress on your

vehicle than does most on-road driving. After going

off-road, it is always a good idea to check for

damage.



Completely inspect the underbody of your

vehicle. Check tires, body structure, steering,

suspension, and exhaust system for damage.



Inspect the radiator for mud and debris and

clean as required.



Check threaded fasteners for looseness, partic

ularly on the chassis, drivetrain components,

steering, and suspension. Retighten them, if

required, and torque to the values specified in

the Service Manual.



Check for accumulations of plants or brush.

These things could be a fire hazard. They might

hide damage to fuel lines, brake hoses, axle

pinion seals, and propeller shafts.



After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or

similar dirty conditions, have the radiator, fan,

brake rotors, wheels, brake linings, and axle

yokes inspected and cleaned as soon as

possible.



Impacted material can cause wheel imbalance.

Freeing the wheels of impacted material will

likely rectify imbalance condition.

WARNING!

Abrasive material in any part of the braking

system may cause excessive wear or

unpredictable braking performance. Full braking

power may not be available to prevent a

collision. If you have been operating your vehicle

in dirty conditions, inspect and clean the braking

components as soon as possible.
