ANGE

The system can detect people 4 ft (1.25 m) tall or

greater in the upright position. The system can also

detect animals that are four-legged and 3 ft (1 m)

tall or greater in the upright position.
The detection distance for the system is between

26 ft (8 m) and 328 ft (100 m) from the front of the

vehicle.

WARNING!



Do not jerk the steering wheel in response to

a warning.



Never attempt to swerve around animals if

doing so would endanger you or other drivers

on the road.



Do not stare at the image while driving. You

could crash and you or others could be

injured.



The Night Vision system only provides alerts to

objects of interest and cannot serve as a

substitute for the driver’s personal judgment.

The warnings are meant to direct your atten

tion to the detected objects, but the Night

Vision system does not automatically brake

the vehicle and may not provide a warning

with enough time to help avoid a crash.



Warnings are only provided if a pedestrian or

large animal is detected by the system.



It is always the driver’s responsibility to be

attentive of road, traffic, and weather condi

tions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle

ahead; and, most importantly, brake opera

tion to ensure safe operation of the vehicle

under all road conditions. Your complete

attention is always required while driving to

maintain safe control of your vehicle.

VEHICLE LOADING

ROSS

EHICLE

ATING

(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.

AYLOAD

The payload of a vehicle is defined as the allowable

weight a vehicle can carry, including the weight of

the driver, all passengers, options and cargo.

ROSS

XLE

EIGHT

ATING

(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 or GAWR.

IRE

IZE

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.

IZE

This is the rim size that is appropriate for the tire

size listed.

NFLATION

RESSURE

This is the cold tire inflation pressure for your

vehicle for all loading conditions up to full GAWR.

URB

EIGHT

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.

OADING

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.
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 axles. 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

1 — Two Piece Tappet

196

STARTING AND OPERATING

heavier items down low and be sure that the

weight is distributed equally. Stow all loose items

securely before driving.

NOTE:



Improper weight distributions can have an

adverse effect on the way your vehicle steers

and handles and the way the brakes operate.



Air suspension vehicle may limit off-road heights

if loaded beyond recommended values for

vehicle GVWR and GAWR.

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 195.

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 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 195.

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!

If the gross trailer weight is 5,000 lb (2,267 kg) or

more, it is recommended to use a weight-distributing

hitch to ensure stable handling of your vehicle. If you

use a standard weight-carrying hitch, you could lose

control of your vehicle and cause a collision.

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

197

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.

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 used to tow small and

medium sized trailers.

Weight-Distributing Hitch

A Weight-Distributing Hitch 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.

(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 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 the new vehicle

drivetrain components, the following guidelines

are recommended.

Perform the maintenance listed in the Scheduled

Servicing

page 341. When towing a trailer,

never exceed the GAWR or GCWR ratings.

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.

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.



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 (P). For four-wheel drive

vehicles, make sure the transfer case is not in

NEUTRAL (N). Always, block or "chock" the

trailer wheels.



GCWR must not be exceeded.

WARNING!

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 381.

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).

Integrated Trailer Brake Module (ITBM) —

If Equipped

Your vehicle may have an ITBM for Electric and

Electric Over Hydraulic (EOH) trailer brakes. The

controller is located below the instrument panel on

the right side of the steering column.

NOTE:

This module has been designed and verified with

electric trailer brakes and EOH systems. Some

previous EOH systems may not be compatible with

ITBM.



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!



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.
