Use the following chart to determine how much the vehicle can weigh, based upon the vehicle model and options.Vehicle Max. Trailer Wt.*GCWR
AWD –2.0L L4 Engine 680 kg (1,500 lb) 2 750 kg (6,060 lb)
2WD –2.5L L4 Engine 680 kg (1,500 lb) 2 600 kg (5,730 lb)
AWD –2.5L L4 Engine 680 kg (1,500 lb) 2 700 kg (5,950 lb)
*The Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and
trailer including any passengers, cargo, equipment, and conversion. The GCWR for the vehicle should not be
exceeded.
Ask your dealer for our trailering
information or advice.
Weight of the Trailer Tongue
The tongue load (1) of any trailer is
very important because it is also
part of the vehicle weight. The
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)
includes the curb weight of the
vehicle, any cargo carried in it, and
the people who will be riding in the
vehicle as well as trailer tongue
weight. Vehicle options, equipment,
passengers, and cargo in the
vehicle reduce the amount of tongue weight the vehicle can carry,
which will also reduce the trailer
weight the vehicle can tow.
In general, the trailer tongue
weight (1) should be 10-15 % of the
loaded trailer weight (2). Some
specific trailer types (especially boat
trailers) fall outside of this range. In
this case, the recommended tongue
weight in the trailer owner
’s manual
should be observed. In all cases,
the maximum loads for the vehicle
and hitch should not be exceeded.
Do not exceed the maximum
allowable tongue weight of 91 kg
(200 lb) for the vehicle. Choose the
shortest hitch extension that will
position the hitch ball closest to the

Managing the Vehicle Damage
Repair Process
In the event that the vehicle requires
damage repairs, GM recommends
that you take an active role in its
repair. If you have a pre-determined
repair facility of choice, take the
vehicle there, or have it towed there.
Specify to the facility that any
required replacement collision parts
be original equipment parts, either
new Genuine GM parts or recycled original GM parts. Remember,
recycled parts will not be covered by
the GM vehicle warranty.
Insurance pays the bill for the repair,
but you must live with the repair.
Depending on your policy limits,
your insurance company may
initially value the repair using
aftermarket parts. Discuss this with
the repair professional, and insist on
Genuine GM parts. Remember,
if the vehicle is leased, you may be
obligated to have the vehicle
repaired with Genuine GM parts,
even if your insurance coverage
does not pay the full cost.
If another party's insurance
company is paying for the repairs,
you are not obligated to accept a
repair valuation based on that
insurance company's collision policy
repair limits, as you have no
contractual limits with that company.
In such cases, you can have control
of the repair and parts choices as
long as the cost stays within
reasonable limits.
