Payload
The payload capacity is shown on the CertificationRire
label. This is the maximum load capacity that your
vehicle can carry. Be sure to include the weight of the
occupants as part
of your load. If you added any
accessories or equipment after your vehicle left the
factory, remember to subtract the weight
of these things
from the payload.
Your dealer can help you with this.
Electronic Level Control
The rear of the vehicle is automatically kept level as you
load
or unload your vehicle. However, you should still
not exceed the
GVWR or the GAWR.
The ignition has to be on for the level control to work.
The system includes a small electric air compressor and
air-adjustable rear shock absorbers.
You may hear the compressor operating when you load
or unload your vehicle, and periodically
as the system
self-adjusts. This is normal. The compressor should operate for
brief periods
of time
If the sound continues for an extended period of time,
your vehicle needs service.
To keep your battery from
being drained. you may want to remove the
LD LEV
fuse in the fuse control panel until you can get your
vehicle serviced (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in
the Index).
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.
NOTICE:
Your warranty does not cover parts or
components that fail because
of overloading.
