A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y our vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system consists of a Fob and a W ireless Ignition Node (WIN) with an integral ignition switch. Y ou can insert the double-sided integrated key into the ignition switch with either side up.
Fob With Integrated Key The Fob operates the ignition switch. It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and an emer- gency key , which stores in the rear of the Fob. The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the Fob go dead.
NOTE: The power window switches, radio, power sunroof (if equipped), and ignition-power ed power out- lets will remain active for up to 60 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position. Opening either door will cancel this feature. The time for this feature is pr ogrammable.
is automatic, regar dless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked. The system uses the factory-mated Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter with integrated key and W ireless Igni- tion Node (WIN) to prevent unauthorized vehicle opera- tion.
All of the RKE transmitters provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electr onics. Replacement Keys NOTE: Only RKE transmitters that are pr ogrammed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a transmitter is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.
2. Insert the second valid integrated key and turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, a chime will sound and the V ehicle Security Light will begin to flash. T urn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the second key .
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM The V ehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unau- thorized operation.
• The V ehicle Security Alarm r emains armed during trunk entry . Pressing the TRUNK button will not disarm the V ehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters the vehicle through the tr unk, and opens any door , the alarm will sound. • When the V ehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
NOTE: • None of the courtesy lights will operate if the dimmer control is in the “defeat” position (extr eme downward position), unless the overhead map/r eading lights are turned on manually .
Remote Key Unlock, Driver Door/All Doors First This feature lets you pr ogram the system to unlock either the driver’s door or both doors on the first press of the UNLOCK button on the transmitter .

locking the key in the vehicle. Removing the key or closing the door will allow the locks to operate. If a door is open, the key is in the ignition, and the ignition is in the LOCK or ACC position, a chime will sound as a reminder to remove the key .
Automatic Unlock Doors on Exit Programming The Automatic Unlock Doors On Exit featur e can be enabled or disabled. Refer to “Unlock Doors Automati- cally on Exit,” under “Personal Settings (Customer- Programmable Featur es),” under “Electronic V ehicle In- formation Center (EVIC)” in Section 4.
WINDOWS Power Windows The window controls on the driver’s door contr ol both of the door windows. There is a single window contr ol on the passenger’s door trim panel that operates the window on the passenger’s door . The window controls will operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position.
W ARNING! Never leave children in a vehicle with the key in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by the windows while operating the power window switches. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
TRUNK LOCK AND RELEASE The trunk lid can be r eleased from inside the vehicle by pressing the T runk Release button. The button is located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. NOTE: The transmission must be in P ARK before the button will operate.
TRUNK SAFETY W ARNING W ARNING! Do not allow children to have access to the trunk, either by climbing into the trunk from outside, or through the inside of the vehicle. Always close the trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. Once in the trunk, young children may not be able to escape, even if they entered through the rear seat.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, the front airbags for both the driver and fr ont passenger , and the supplemental side curtain airbags for the driver and passengers seated next to a window .
ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or impacts.
W ARNING! (Continued) • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse. Y ou might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your pas- sengers safe, too.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. Y ou are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together .
6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 degrees to cr eate a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate. 3. Slide the latch plate upwar d over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate.
chime and flash the Seat Belt Reminder Light for 96 sec- onds or until the driver’s seat belt is buckled. The BeltAlert 威 will be reactivated if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
NOTE: When the BeltAlert 威 is deactivated, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to illuminate as long as the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled. Automatic Locking Mode — If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locked.
Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short even when fully extended your authorized dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender . This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough. When it is not requir ed, remove the extender and stor e it.
NOTE: The front airbags ar e certified to the Federal regulations that allow less for ceful deployment. The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity .
W ARNING! • Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the location of the side curtain airbag. The area where the side curtain airbag is located should remain free from any obstructions. • Do not have any accessory items installed which will alter the roof, including adding a sunroof to your vehicle.
W ARNING! Infants in rear-facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in that position.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions, the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.
• Knee Impact Bolsters • Front Acceleration Sensors • Driver and Front Passenger Seat Belt Pr etensioners How the Airbag System W orks • The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines if a frontal collision is sever e enough to requir e the airbags to inflate.
W ARNING! Ignoring the Airbag W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away .
inflating side curtain airbag pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and covers the window . The airbag inflates in about 30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of the time that it takes .
throat irritation, move to fr esh air . If the irritation continues, see your doctor . If these particles settle on your clothing, follow the garment manufacturer’s in- structions for cleaning. • It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the airbags have been deployed.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you.
Event Data Recorder (EDR) In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to recor d up to five seconds of specific vehicle data param- eters (see the following list) in an event data recor der .
upon request. General data that does not identify par - ticular vehicles or crashes may be released for incorpo- ration in aggregate crash databases, such as those main- tained by the U.
• T raction/stability control status • T ire Pressur e Monitoring System status (if equipped) Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time, including babies and children. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces r equire that small children ride in pr oper restraint systems.
Infants and Child Restraints • Safety experts recommend that childr en ride rearwar d-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used r earward-facing, infant carriers and convertible child seats.
The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who ar e still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly . If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A rearward-facing child restraint should only be used in a rear seat. A rearward-facing child re- straint in the front seat may be struck by a deploy- ing passenger airbag, which may cause severe or fatal injury to the infant.
the child restraint using lower anchorages and upper tether straps from the child r estraint to the vehicle structur e. LA TCH-compatible child restraint systems ar e now avail- able.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge you to follow the manufactur er’s directions carefully when installing your child r estraint. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described her e. Again, carefully follow the installation instr uctions that are pr ovided with the child restraint system.
most direct path between the anchor and the child restraint. Finally , tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint r earward and downwar d into the seat, removing slack in the straps accor ding to the child restraint manufactur er’s instructions.
restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip. Pulling up on the shoulder portion of the lap/shoulder belt will tighten the belt. The cinching latch plate will keep the belt tight; however , any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary .
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most dir ect path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat. 3. Attach the tether strap hook (A) of the child restraint to the anchor (B) and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child r estraint manufacturer’s instruc- tions.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not requir ed for the drivetrain (engine, transmission, and rear axle) in your new vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 500 mi (800 km). After the initial 60 mi (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPOR T P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA. W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seri- ously injured or killed.
If you are r equired to drive with the trunk/liftgate open, make sure that all windows ar e closed and the climate control BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use the recir culation mode. The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
Defroster Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should be able to feel the air directed against the windshield.

When parking on a flat surface, place the shift lever in the P ARK position first, and then apply the parking brake. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P ARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of park.
CAUTION! Coasting the vehicle or driving for any other reason with shift lever in NEUTRAL can result in transmis- sion damage. W ARNING! Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn of f the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions.
“3” (Third) This range eliminates shifts into Overdrive. The transmis- sion will operate normally in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd while in this range. The “3” position should also be used when descending steep grades to prevent brake system dis- tress.
NOTE: • The torque converter clutch will not engage until the transmission fluid and engine coolant is warm (usu- ally after 1–3 miles [1.6–4.8 km] of driving). Because engine speed is higher when the torque converter clutch is not engaged, it may seem as if the transmis- sion is not shifting into Overdrive when cold.
NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we r ecom- mend that you visit an authorized dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Y our authorized dealer has diag- nostic equipment to determine if the problem could recur . If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer service is requir ed.
When parking on a flat surface, place the shift lever in the P ARK position first, and then apply the parking brake. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P ARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of P ARK.
NEUTRAL This range is used when vehicle is standing for pro- longed periods with engine running. Engine may be started in this range. Set the parking brake if you must leave the vehicle. CAUTION! Coasting the vehicle or driving for any other reason with the shift lever in NEUTRAL can result in transmission damage.
T emporary T ransmission Limp Home Mode The transmission is monitored for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could result in transmission damage, the transmission will engage Limp Home Mode. If vehicle acceleration worsens or the transmission no longer shifts, the transmission is most likely operating in the Limp Home Mode.
AUTOSTICK 姞 — IF EQUIPPED Autostick 威 is a driver-interactive transmission that of fers manual gear shifting to provide you with mor e control of the vehicle. Autostick 威 allows you to maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.
• Y ou can start out in first or second gear . The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed. • The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop. • Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
T raction When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and r oad surface. This is known as hydroplaning and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability . T o reduce this possibility , the following precau- tions should be observed: 1.
Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on, or cross, a road or a 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 .
CAUTION! (Continued) • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways 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 .
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and incr eased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason the power assist is interr upted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated. Coordinate inspection ef forts through an autho- rized dealer . CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your power steering system as the chemicals can damage your power steering components.
When parking on a hill, it is important to apply the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P ARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mecha- nism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of P ARK.
Automatic T ransmission — If Equipped The foot operated parking brake is positioned below the lower left corner of the instrument panel. T o apply the parking brake, push the parking brake pedal down and then remove your foot fr om the pedal. T o release the parking brake, push down on the parking brake pedal and then release.
W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Do not leave the key in the ignition. A child could operate power win- dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
When the vehicle is driven over 7 mph (1 1 km/h), you may also hear a slight clicking sound as well as some related motor noises. These noises ar e the system per- forming its self check cycle to ensure that the ABS system is working properly . This self check occurs each time the vehicle is started and accelerated past 7 mph (1 1 km/h).

situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake appli- cation and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes. This can help reduce braking distances. Applying the brakes very quickly results in the best BAS assistance. T o receive the benefits of this system, you must apply continuous brake pedal pressur e during the stopping sequence.
HSA (Hill Start Assist) — Manual T ransmission Only The HSA system is designed to assist the driver when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. HSA will maintain the level of brake pressur e the driver applied for a short period of time after the driver takes their foot off of the brake pedal.
For vehicles not equipped with the EVIC, perform the following steps: NOTE: Y ou must complete Steps 1 through 8 within 90 seconds. 1. Center the steering wheel (fr ont wheels pointing straight forward). 2. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL. 3. Apply the parking brake.
The ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the path that the driver intends to steer the vehicle and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, the ESP applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the condition of oversteer or understeer .
The ESP system has two available operating modes: ESP On This is the normal operating mode for the ESP . Whenever the vehicle is started, the ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. The ESP should only be turned OFF for specific r easons as noted in the following paragraphs.
NOTE: T o improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or when starting off in deep snow , sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by momentarily pr essing the “ESP OFF” switch.
NOTE: • The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” and the “ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light” will turn on momen- tarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. • Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System will be ON even if it was turned OFF previously .
NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.

For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be five 150 lb (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (295 kg) (since 5 x 150 = 750, and 1400 – 750 = 650 lbs [295 kg]).
296 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the ve- hicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure.
loading may be requir ed for high-speed vehicle opera- tion. Refer to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended safe operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pr essures. W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous.
W ARNING! T emporary use spare tires are for emergency use only . W ith these tires, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). T emporary use spare tires have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure some- one.
Life Of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including, but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
NOTE: Do not use tire chains on a compact spar e tire. CAUTION! T o avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the following precautions: • Because of restricted chain clearance between tires and other suspension components, it is important that only chains in good condition are used.
Always use the lower suggested operating speed if both the chain manufacturer and vehicle manufactur er sug- gest a maximum speed. This notice applies to all chain traction devices, including link and cable (radial) chains. SNOW TIRES Some areas of the country r equire the use of snow tir es during the winter .
The suggested rotation method for vehicles equipped with all season tires is the “forwar d-cross” as shown in the following diagram. TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure based on the vehicle r ecom- mended cold placard pr essure.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure if the tire pr essure falls below the low-pr essure warning limit for any reason, including low temperatur e effects and natural pressur e loss through the tir e.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when us- ing replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
• Seasonal temperature changes will af fect tire pr essure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pr essure in the tire. Base System The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pr essure levels.
turn off when the fault condition no longer exists. A system fault can occur due to any of the following: 1. Signal interfer ence due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPM sensors. 2. Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains materials that may block radio wave signals.
Premium System — If Equipped The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pr essure levels. Sensors mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem transmit tire pr essure readings to the r eceiver module.
Should this occur , you should stop as soon as possible and inflate all of the tires with low pr essure (including those flashing in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s recommended cold placar d pressur e value.
Check TPMS W arning If a system fault is detected, the “TPM T elltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then r emain on solid. The system fault will also sound a chime.
V ehicles with Compact Spare 1. The compact spar e tire does not have a TPM sensor . Therefor e, the TPMS will not monitor the pressur e in the compact spare tir e.
General Information This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS 210 of Industry Canada.

as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you experi- ence these symptoms, try another brand of gasoline before considering service for the vehicle.
CAUTION! DO NOT use gasolines containing Methanol or E85 Ethanol. Use of these blends may result in starting and driveability problems and may damage critical fuel system components. Problems that r esult from using methanol/gasoline or E85 ethanol blends are not the r esponsibility of the manufacturer .
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no performance advantage beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT . Gasoline blended with MMT reduces spark plug life and reduces emissions system performance in some vehicles.
• The use of fuel additives, which are now being sold as octane enhancers, is not recommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting fr om the use of such fuels or additives is not the responsibility of the manufactur er .
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on the left side of the vehicle. Use a finger to pull open the door . If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the r eplacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emissions control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap). • A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities into the fuel system. • A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the Malfunc- tion Indicator Light (MIL) to turn on.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a “Check Gascap” message will display in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC).
Gross V ehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver , passengers, and cargo. The total load must be limited so that you do not exceed the GVWR. Gross Axle Weight Rating (GA WR) The GA WR is the maximum capacity of the front and r ear axles.
Loading T o 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.
Gross T railer W eight (GTW) The GTW is the weight of the trailer plus the weight of all cargo, consumables, and equipment (permanent or tem- porary) loaded in or on the trailer in its ⬙ loaded and ready for operation ⬙ condition. The r ecommended way to measure GTW is to put your fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.

W eight-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.
T railer Hitch Classification The following chart provides the industry standar d 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.
T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Engine/T ransmission Frontal Area Max. GTW (Gross T railer Wt.) Max. T ongue Wt. 3.5L Automatic 12 sq ft (1.
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.
W ARNING! (Continued) Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and it 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. Y ou could lose control of your vehicle and have an accident.
T owing Requirements — T ires − Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tir e. − Proper tir e inflation pressur es are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Refer to “T ires–General Information” for proper tir e inflation procedur es.
CAUTION! If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 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.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector . Refer to the following illustrations.
