~ SEE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The CertificatiodTire label is found on the rear edge of the driver's door.
The label shows the size
of your original tires and the inflation pressures
needed to obtain the gross weight capacity of your vehicle. This is called the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the weight of
the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
The Certificatiodl'ire label
also tells you the maximum weights for the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To find
out
the actual loads on your front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help you with this. Be sure
to spread out your load equally on both sides
of the centerline.
Never exceed the GVWR
for your vehicle, or the GAWR for either the front
or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out.
.Using heavier suspension components to get added durability might not
change your weight ratings. Ask your dealer to help you load your vehicle
the right way.
If your vehicle is equipped for front-end equipment (a snow plow, for
example), the front suspension may have been adjusted (raised) to level the
vehicle when the equipment was installed. If the front suspension was
adjusted, you must re-adjust the front suspension after the equipment is
removed to avoid possible front suspension damage. Adjust the front
suspension
to original design specifications for your particular model.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and then the tongue,
separately, to see
if the weights are proper. If they aren’t, you may be able to
get them right simply by moving some items around in the trailer.
Total Weight on Your Vehicle’s Tires
Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inflated to the limit for cold tires. You’ll find
these numbers on the Certification label at the rear edge of the driver’s door
or see “Tire Loading”
in the Index. Then be sure you don’t go over the
GVW limit for your vehicle, including the weight of the trailer tongue.
Hitches
It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks
going by, and rough roads are a few reasons why
you’ll need the right hitch.
Here are some rules to follow:
If you use a step bumper hitch, and your trailer tongue has a V-shaped
foot, your bumper could be damaged in sharp turns. Check the distance
from the front edge
of the foot to the middle of the hitch ball socket. If
the distance is less than 12 inches, take the foot off the trailer tongue.
0 If you’ll be pulling a trailer with a utility model that, when loaded, will
weigh more then
3,000 pounds (2 250 kg) be sure to use a properly
mounted, weight-distributing hitch and sway control of the proper size.
This equipment is very important for proper vehicle loading and good
handling when you’re driving.
If you’ll be pulling
a trailer with a Suburban that, when loaded, will
weigh more than
4,000 pounds (1 8 14 kg) be sure to use a properly
mounted, weight-distributing hitch and sway control
of the proper size.
This equipment is very important for proper vehicle loading and good
handling when you’re driving.
Will you have to make any holes in the body of your vehicle when you
install
a trailer hitch? If you do, then be sure to seal the holes later
when you remove the
hitch. If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon
monoxide
(CO) from your exhaust can get into your vehicle (see
“Carbon Monoxide’’ in the Index). Dirt and water can, too.
Safety Chains
You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer.
Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the trailer
so that the tongue will
not drop to the road if it becomes separated from the hitch. Instructions
about safety chains may be provided by the hitch manufacturer or by the
trailer manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for
attaching safety chains and do
not attach them to the bumper. Always leave
just enough slack
so you can turn with your rig. And, never allow safety
chains to drag on the ground.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When it’s Time for New Tires
Tread Wear
Indicators
One way to tell when
it’s time for new tires
is to check the
treadwear indicators,
which will appear
when your tires have
only
1/16 inch (1.6
mm) or less of tread
remaining.
You need a new tire if
0 You can see the indicators at three or more places around the tire.
e You can see cord or fidbric showing through the tire’s rubber.
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show
cord
or fabric.
0 The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
0 The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can’t be repaired well
because of the size or location
of the damage.
Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at the
Certification/Tire label.
The tires installed
on your vehicle when it was new had a Tire Performance
Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) number on each tire’s sidewall. When you
get new tires, get ones with that same TPC Spec number. That way, your
vehicle will
continue to have tires that are designed to give proper
endurance, handling, speed rating, traction, ride and other things during
normal service
on your vehicle. If your tires have an all-season tread
design, the TPC number
will be followed by an “MS” (for mud and snow).
If
you ever replace your tires with those not having a TPC Spec number,
make sure
they are the same size, load range, speed rating and construction
type (bias, bias-belted or radial)
as your original tires.

NOTICE:
If your vehicle has LT265/75R16 size tires, don't use tire chains;
they can damage your vehicle.
If you have
a tire size other than LT26975R16, use tire chains
only where legal and only when you must. Use chains that are
the proper size for your tires. Install them on the tires
of the rear
axle.
Don't
use chains on the tires of the front axle.
Tighten them as tightly as possible with the ends securely
fastened. Drive slowly and follow the chain manufacturer's
instructions. If you can hear the chains contacting your vehicle,
stop and retighten them. If the contact continues, slow down
until it stops. Driving too fast or spinning the wheels with chains
on will damage your vehicle.
Appearance Care
. ..
. ..
Remember, cleaning products can be hazardous. Some are toxic. Others can
burst into flame if
you strike a match or get them on a hot part of the
vehicle. Some are dangerous
if you breathe their fumes in a closed space.
When
you use anything from a container to clean your vehicle, be sure to
follow the manufxturer's warnings and instructions. And always open your
doors or windows when you're cleaning
the inside.
