Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings)
Engine/Transmission ModelMaximum Braked Trailer Weight GTW
(Gross Trailer Wt.)*Maximum Tongue Wt. (See Note)
1.4L Gasoline Engine FWD or 4WD 2,205 lbs (1,000 kg) 110 lbs (50 kg)
2.0L Diesel Engine / Automatic 4WD 3,307 lbs (1,500 kg) 165 lbs (75 kg)
2.0L Diesel Engine / Manual 4WD 4,188 lbs (1,900 kg) 209 lbs (95 kg)
1.6L Diesel Engine FWD 2,205 lbs (1,000 kg) 110 lbs (50 kg)
When towing a trailer the technically permissible laden weight may be exceeded by not more than 10% or 220 lbs (100 kg),
whichever is lower provided that the operating speed is restricted to 62 mph (100 km/h) or less.
Refer to local laws for maximum trailer towing speeds and loads.
Towing limits quoted represent the maximum towing ability of the vehicle at its Gross Combined Mass
to restart on a 12 percent gradient at sea level.
The performance and economy of all models will be reduced when used for towing.
* Trailer towing without trailer brakes is limited to 992 lbs (450 kg).
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of your new ve-
hicle drivetrain components, the following
guidelines are recommended.
CAUTION!
• Do not tow a trailer at all during the first
500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is
driven. The engine, axle or other parts
could be damaged.
CAUTION!
• Then, during the first 500 miles
(805 km) that a trailer is towed, do not
drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) and do not
make starts at full throttle. This helps
the engine and other parts of the vehicle
wear in at the heavier loads.

FRONT OK NOT ALLOWED

NOTE:
• When towing your vehicle, always follow
applicable state and provincial laws. Con-
tact state and local authorities offices for
additional details.
• You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake
feature is disabled before towing this ve-
hicle, to avoid inadvertent Electric Park
Brake engagement. The Auto Park Brake
feature is enabled or disabled via the cus-
tomer programmable features in the
Uconnect Settings.Recreational Towing — Front-Wheel Drive
(FWD) Models
Recreational towing is allowed ONLY if the
front wheels areOFFthe ground. This may be
accomplished using a tow dolly (front wheels
off the ground) or vehicle trailer (all four
wheels off the ground). If using a tow dolly,
follow this procedure:
1. Properly secure the dolly to the tow ve-
hicle, following the dolly manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Drive the front wheels onto the tow dolly.3. Apply the Electric Park Brake (EPB).
Place the transmission in PARK. Turn the
engine OFF.
4. Properly secure the front wheels to the
dolly, following the dolly manufacturer's
instructions.
5. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position,
but do not start the engine.
6. Press and hold the brake pedal.
7. Release the Electric Park Brake (EPB).
8. Turn the ignition OFF, remove the key fob,
and release the brake pedal.

The suggested Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Tire
rotation method is the “rearward cross”
shown in the following diagram.
CAUTION!
Proper operation of four-wheel drive ve-
hicles depends on tires of equal size, type
and circumference on each wheel. Any
difference in tire size can cause damage to
the power transfer unit. Tire rotation
schedule should be followed to balance
tire wear.
STORING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle should remain stationary for
more than a month, observe the following
precautions:
• Park your vehicle in a covered, dry and
possibly airy location the windows open
slightly.
• Check that the Electric Park Brake is not
engaged.
• Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from
the battery post and be sure that the battery
is fully charged. During storage check bat-
tery charge quarterly.
• If you do not disconnect the battery from
the electrical system, check the battery
charge every 30 days.
• Clean and protect the painted parts by
applying protective waxes.
• Clean and protect polished metal parts by
applying protective waxes.
• Apply talcum powder to the front and rear
wiper blades and leave raised from the
glass.• Cover the vehicle with an appropriate cover
taking care not to damage the painted sur-
face by dragging across dirty surfaces. Do
not use plastic sheeting which will not allow
the evaporation of moisture present on the
surface of the vehicle.
• Inflate the tires at a pressure of +7.25 psi
(+0.5 bar) higher than recommended on
the tire placard and check it periodically.
• Do not drain the engine cooling system.
• Whenever you leave the vehicle stationary
for two weeks or more, idle the engine for
approximately five minutes, with the air
conditioning system on and high fan speed.
This will ensure proper lubrication of the
system, thus minimizing the possibility of
damage to the compressor when the vehicle
is put back into operation.
NOTE:
When the vehicle has not been started or
driven for at least 30 days, an Extended Park
Start Procedure is required to start the ve-
hicle.
Refer to “Starting The Engine” in “Starting
And Operating” for further information.
