TABLE OF CONTENTS

RECREATIONAL TOWING
(BEHIND MOTORHOME,
ETC.)
Two-Wheel Drive And All-Wheel
Drive
• Recreational towing (with all fourwheels on the ground) is allowed
ONLY if the rear driveshaft is removed
and the transmission is in NEUTRAL
(for both RWD and AWD vehicles).
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
If the driveshaft is removed, the
vehicle can roll even if the
transmission is in PARK, which could
cause serious injury or death.
• The parking brake must be firmly engaged and the wheels chocked
during driveshaft removal and
installation. The parking brake must
remain engaged unless the vehicle is
securely and properly connected to
the tow vehicle, or the driveshaft is
completely reinstalled. See your
authorized dealer for proper
driveshaft removal and reinstallation
procedures, including flange
orientation/alignment, use of
thread-locking compound, proper bolt
torque specifications, etc.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or transfer case
damage. Damage from improper
towing is not covered under your new
vehicle warranties.

TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and
inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for more information on the life of tires.
WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended
load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component
separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation r educes a tire’s ability to cushion shock.
Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your
vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated ti res can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
