Driving
Your vehicle can not be flat towed
with all wheels on the ground.
Servicing while towing
If you tow a trailer for long
distances, your vehicle requires
more frequent service than a
vehicle not used for towing. Refer
to the “Service Guide” for more
information on maintenance
intervals.
Using a step bumper
The rear bumper is equipped with
an integral hitch and requires only
a ball with a ¾ inch shank
diameter. The bumper has a Class
II capability (1590 kg / 3500 lb
trailer weight and 159 kg / 350 lb
tongue weight) .
Use a frame mounted weight
distributing hitch for trailers over
1590
kg (3500 lb).
Launching or retrieving a boat
When backing down a ramp during
boat launching or retrieval,
•
Do not allow the static water
level to rise above the bottom
edge of the rear bumper and
•
Do not allow waves to break
higher than 15 cm (six inches)
above the bottom edge of the
rear bumper.
Exceeding these limits may allow
water to enter critical vehicle
components, adversely affecting
driveability, emissions and
reliability.
