Your vehicle may be equipped with a
temporary or conventional spare tire. A
“temporary” spare tire is different in size
(diameter or width), tread-type (All-Season
or All-Terrain) or is from a different
manufacturer than the road tires on your
vehicle. Consult information on the tire label
or Safety Compliance label for limitations
when using.
Launching or Retrieving a Boat or
Personal Watercraft (PWC)
Note: Disconnect the wiring to the trailer
before backing the trailer into the water.
Note: Reconnect the wiring to the trailer
after removing the trailer from the water.
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.
•
Do not allow waves to break higher than
6 inches (15 centimeters) above the
bottom edge of the rear bumper.
Exceeding these limits may allow water to
enter vehicle components:
•
Causing internal damage to the
components.
•
Affecting driveability, emissions, and
reliability.
Replace the rear axle lubricant anytime the
rear axle has been submerged in water.
Water may have contaminated the rear axle
lubricant, which is not normally checked or
changed unless a leak is suspected or other
axle repair is required.
TOWING POINTS
WARNINGS
Using recovery hooks is dangerous
and should only be done by a person
familiar with proper vehicle recovery safety
practices. Improper use of recovery hooks
may cause hook failure or separation from
the vehicle and could result in serious injury
or death.
WARNINGS
Always slowly remove the slack from
the recovery strap prior to pulling.
Failure to do so can introduce significantly
higher loads which can cause the recovery
hooks to break off, or the recovery strap to
fail which can cause serious injury or death.
Never link two straps together with a
clevis pin. These heavy metal objects
could become projectiles if the strap breaks
and can cause serious injury or death.
Your vehicle comes equipped with
frame-mounted front recovery hooks. These
hooks should never have a load applied to
them greater than the gross vehicle weight
rating of your vehicle.
Before using recovery hooks:
•
Make sure all attaching points are secure
and capable of withstanding the applied
load.
•
Never use chains, cables or tow straps
with metal hook ends.
