Starting and Operating Instructions<br />

Maximum Front and Rear Axle<br />

Weights<br />

The label also shows the maximum<br />

weight that the front axle can<br />

carry (the front Gross Axle Weight<br />

Rating) and the maximum weight<br />

that the rear axle can carry (the<br />

rear Gross Axle Weight Rating).<br />

The weight <strong>of</strong> the cargo load must<br />

be properly distributed over both<br />

the front and rear axles.<br />

If you are unsure <strong>of</strong> your vehicle’s<br />

front, rear or total weight, weigh<br />

the vehicle at a weigh station. Your<br />

dealer can assist you with this.<br />

■ TRAILER TOWING<br />

CAUTION<br />

If you don't use the correct<br />

equipment and drive properly,<br />

you could lose control when<br />

you pull a trailer behind your<br />

vehicle. You could have a<br />

serious accident.<br />

For example, if the trailer is too<br />

heavy, the brakes may not work<br />

well, or they may not even work<br />

at all.<br />

You and your passengers could<br />

be seriously injured.<br />

NOTICE<br />

Pulling a trailer improperly can<br />

damage your vehicle and result<br />

in costly repairs not covered by<br />

your warranty. To pull a trailer<br />

correctly, follow the advice in<br />

this section.<br />

If you think you want to pull a<br />

trailer, see your dealer for information<br />

on your vehicle's trailer<br />

towing ability.<br />
