STARTING AND OPERATING



If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system

detects a vehicle in the adjacent lane, and the

turn signal is applied in that direction, the BSM

LED on the mirror will flash. If the driver

continues to attempt the lane change, steering

wheel torque will be provided to keep the

vehicle within its lane markings.

The driver may manually override the steering

assist warning by applying force to the steering

wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and

the driver drifts across the lane marking (no turn

signal applied), the Active Lane Management

system provides a visual warning in the instrument

cluster, as well as a steering assist torque (if

configured in Uconnect Settings), to prompt the

driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If the

driver continues to drift out of the lane, the system

provides a flashing visual warning through the

instrument cluster display as well as a haptic

steering wheel vibration (if configured in Uconnect

Settings) when the vehicle crosses the lane

boundary.
NOTE:

When operating conditions have been met, the

Active Lane Management system will monitor if the

driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and

provides an audible and visual warning to the

driver if removed. The system will cancel if the

driver does not return their hands to the wheel.

shape/temperature (e.g. sun exposure) of pedes

trians/animals may be detected and classified as

targets.

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 others.



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.

ATING

(GVWR)

The GVWR is the total permissible weight of your

vehicle including driver, passengers, vehicle,

options and cargo. The Vehicle Certification Label

specifies maximum capacities of front and rear

axle systems (GAWR). Total load must be limited so

GVWR and front and rear GAWR are not exceeded.

AYLOAD

The payload of a vehicle is defined as the allowable

load weight a truck can carry, including the weight

of the driver, all passengers and cargo.

ROSS

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 do not

necessarily increase the vehicle's GVWR.

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.

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.

CAUTION!

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top

off” the fuel tank after filling.

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 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 184.

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.

WARNING!

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.

186

STARTING AND OPERATING

(Continued)

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 184.

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.
The electronic TSC (if equipped) 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 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

(TSC) 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!



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.

STARTING AND OPERATING

RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION HITCH

ADJUSTMENT

1. Verify that the vehicle is at the Normal Ride

Height.

NOTE:

The vehicle must remain in the engine run position

with all doors closed while attaching a trailer for

proper leveling of the air suspension system.
2. Position the vehicle to be ready to connect to

the trailer (do not connect the trailer).

3. For vehicles equipped with Quadra-Lift air

suspension, use the touchscreen radio

settings to enable Tire/Jack mode. Tire/Jack

mode will be canceled and the procedure must

be restarted if the vehicle is driven at speeds

above 5mph (8 km/h).

4. Measure the height from the top of the front

wheel opening on the fender to ground; this is

height H1.

Measuring Height (H)

5. Attach the trailer to the vehicle without the

weight distribution bars connected.

6. Measure the height from the top of the front

wheel opening on the fender to the ground;

this is height H2.

7. Install and adjust the tension in the weight

distributing bars per the manufacturer’s

recommendations so that the height of the

front fender is approximately (H2-H1)/2+H1

(about 1/2 the difference between H2 and H1

above Normal Ride Height [H1]).

8. Use the touchscreen radio settings and switch

off Tire/Jack mode. Make sure the truck

returns to Normal Ride Height. Perform a

visual inspection of the trailer and

weight-distributing hitch to confirm the

manufacturers’ recommendations have been

met.

9. The vehicle can now be driven.



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 manufacturer or a

reputable Recreational Vehicle dealer for

additional information.
