Owner's Manual

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.

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 “Tire Safety Information/Tire and Load-

ing Information Placard” in “Starting and Operating” for

the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo

for your vehicle.
