Notice: Using a power winch with the transmission
in gear to pull out another vehicle may damage the
transmission. When operating a power winch,
always leave the transmission in N (Neutral).
Notice: Driving the vehicle through an automatic
car wash with the winch installed, can cause
damage to ther vehicle and the car wash. Always
remove the winch from the vehicle before using an
automatic car wash. See
Washing Your Vehicle on
page 6 ‑ 109 for more information.
If using a winch to pull out your own vehicle, follow the
winch manufacturer's guidelines for self recovery and
observe the following to prevent damage to the vehicle:
. Do not self recover the vehicle by wrapping the
winch cable around an object (such as a pulley
block or tree) and attaching it back to the vehicle's
recovery loops.
. Always attach the winch cable directly to a solid
anchor directly in front of the vehicle to achieve a
straight line pull.
Loading the Vehicle
It is very important to know how much weight your
vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle
capacity weight and includes the weight of all
occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed
options. Two labels on your vehicle show how
much weight it may properly carry, the Tire and
Loading Information label and the Certification/Tire
label.
{
WARNING:
Do not load the vehicle any heavier than the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
or either the maximum front or rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). If you do, parts
on the vehicle can break, and it can change
the way the vehicle handles. These could
cause you to lose control and crash. Also,
overloading can shorten the life of the
vehicle.
