NOTE:
•
Tighten the gas cap until you hear a
“clicking” sound. This is an indication
that the gas cap is tightened properly. The
MIL in the instrument cluster may turn on
if the gas cap is not secured properly.
Make sure that the gas cap is tightened
each time the vehicle is refueled.
•
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message (gASCAP)
After fuel has been added, the vehicle diagnos-
tic system can determine if the fuel filler cap is
possibly loose, improperly installed, or dam-
aged. If the system detects a malfunction, the
“gASCAP” message will display in the odometer
display. Tighten the gas cap until a
"
clicking
"
sound is heard. This is an indication that the gas
cap is properly tightened. Press the odometer
reset button to turn the message off. If the
problem persists, the message will appear the
next time the vehicle is started. This might
indicate a damaged cap. If the problem is
detected twice in a row, the system will turn on
the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). Resolving
the problem will turn the MIL light off.
TRAILER TOWING
In this section you will find safety tips and
information on limits to the type of towing you
can reasonably do with your vehicle. Before
towing a trailer, carefully review this information
to tow your load as efficiently and safely as
possible.
To maintain warranty coverage, follow the re-
quirements
and
recommendations
in
this
manual concerning vehicles used for trailer
towing.
Common Towing Definitions
The following trailer towing related definitions
will assist you in understanding the following
information:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your
vehicle. This includes driver, passengers,
cargo, and tongue weight. The total load must
be limited so that you do not exceed the GVWR.
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)
The GTW is the weight of the trailer plus the
weight of all cargo, consumables and equip-
ment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or on
the trailer in its
"
loaded and ready for operation
"
condition. The recommended way to measure
GTW is to put your fully loaded trailer on a
vehicle scale. The entire weight of the trailer
must be supported by the scale.
Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR)
The GCWR is the total permissible weight of
your vehicle and trailer when weighed in com-
bination.
NOTE:
The GCWR rating includes a 150 lbs (68 kg)
allowance for the presence of a driver.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front
and rear axles. Distribute the load over the front
and rear axles evenly. Make sure that you do
not exceed either front or rear GAWR.
