VEHICLE LOADING
Certification Label
As required by local traffic regulations, your
vehicle has a certification label affixed to the
driver's side door or pillar.
Refer to “Tire Safety” in “Servicing And
Maintenance” for further informationThis label contains the month and year of
manufacture, Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR), Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
front and rear, and Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN). A Month-Day-Hour (MDH)
number is included on this label and indi
-
cates the Month, Day and Hour of manufac -
ture. The bar code that appears on the
bottom of the label is your VIN.
TRAILER TOWING
Common Towing Definitions
The following trailer towing related defini -
tions will assist you in understanding the
following information:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The GVWR is the total allowable weight of
your vehicle. This includes driver, passen -
gers, cargo and tongue weight. The total load
must be limited so that you do not exceed
the GVWR. Refer to “Vehicle Loading/Vehicle
Certification Label” in “Starting And Oper -
ating” for further information.
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)
The GTW is the weight of the trailer plus the
weight of all cargo, consumables and equip -
ment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or
on the trailer in its "loaded and ready for
operation" condition.
The recommended way to measure GTW is to
put your fully loaded trailer on a vehicle
scale. The entire weight of the trailer must be
supported by the scale.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the
front and rear axles. Distribute the load over
the front and rear axles evenly. Make sure
that you do not exceed either front or rear
GAWR. Refer to “Vehicle Loading/Vehicle
Certification Label” in “Starting And Oper -
ating” for further information.
WARNING!
It is important that you do not exceed the
maximum front or rear GAWR. A dangerous
driving condition can result if either rating
is exceeded. You could lose control of the
vehicle and have a collision.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 171

STARTING AND OPERATING
172
Tongue Weight (TW)
The tongue weight is the downward force
exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer. You
must consider this as part of the load on your
vehicle.
Trailer Frontal Area
The frontal area is the maximum height
multiplied by the maximum width of the
front of a trailer.
Trailer Sway Control
The trailer sway control can be a mechanical
telescoping link that can be installed
between the hitch receiver and the trailer
tongue that typically provides adjustable fric-
tion associated with the telescoping motion
to dampen any unwanted trailer swaying
motions while traveling.
If equipped, the electronic Trailer Sway
Control (TSC) recognizes a swaying trailer
and automatically applies individual wheel
brakes and/or reduces engine power to
attempt to eliminate the trailer sway.
Weight-Carrying Hitch
A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer
tongue weight, just as if it were luggage
located at a hitch ball or some other
connecting point of the vehicle. These kinds
of hitches are the most popular on the
market today and they are commonly used to
tow small and medium sized trailers.
Weight-Distributing Hitch
A weight-distributing system works by
applying leverage through spring (load) bars.
They are typically used for heavier loads to
distribute trailer tongue weight to the tow
vehicle's front axle and the trailer axle(s).
When used in accordance with the manufac -
turer's directions, it provides for a more level
ride, offering more consistent steering and
brake control thereby enhancing towing
safety. The addition of a friction/hydraulic
sway control also dampens sway caused by
traffic and crosswinds and contributes posi -
tively to tow vehicle and trailer stability. Trailer sway control and a weight distributing
(load equalizing) hitch are recommended for
heavier Tongue Weights (TW) and may be
required depending on vehicle and trailer
configuration/loading to comply with Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) requirements.
WARNING!
An improperly adjusted Weight Distrib
-
uting Hitch system may reduce
handling, stability, braking performance,
and could result in a collision.
Weight Distributing Systems may not be
compatible with Surge Brake Couplers.
Consult with your hitch and trailer manu -
facturer or a reputable Recreational
Vehicle dealer for additional informa-
tion.

Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings)
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of your new
vehicle drivetrain components, the following
guidelines are recommended.Perform the maintenance listed in the
“Scheduled Servicing”. Refer to “Scheduled
Servicing” in “Servicing And Maintenance”
for the proper maintenance intervals. When
towing a trailer, never exceed the GAWR or
GCWR ratings.
Engine/Transmission

1.6L Diesel Engine FWD2,205 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).
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.
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.
CAUTION! (Continued)

WARNING!
Make certain that the load is secured in
the trailer and will not shift during travel.
When trailering cargo that is not fully
secured, dynamic load shifts can occur
that may be difficult for the driver to
control. You could lose control of your
vehicle and have a collision.
When hauling cargo or towing a trailer,
do not overload your vehicle or trailer.
Overloading can cause a loss of control,
poor performance or damage to brakes,
axle, engine, transmission, steering,
suspension, chassis structure or tires.
Safety chains must always be used
between your vehicle and trailer. Always
connect the chains to the hook retainers
of the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains
under the trailer tongue and allow
enough slack for turning corners.

Vehicles with trailers should not be
parked on a grade. When parking, apply
the parking brake on the tow vehicle. Put
the tow vehicle transmission in PARK. For
four-wheel drive vehicles, make sure the
transfer case is not in NEUTRAL. Always,
block or "chock" the trailer wheels.

WARNING! (Continued)
GCWR must not be exceeded.
Total weight must be distributed between
the tow vehicle and the trailer such that the
following four ratings are not exceeded
:
GVWR
GTW
GAWR
Tongue weight rating for the trailer
hitch utilized.

Loading
The vehicle maximum load on the tire must
not exceed the load carrying capacity of the
tire on your vehicle. You will not exceed the
tire's load carrying capacity if you adhere to
the loading conditions, tire size, and cold tire
inflation pressures specified on the Tire
Information placard.
NOTE:
Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition,
gross axle weight ratings (GAWRs) for the
front and rear axles must not be exceeded.
Radial Ply Tires
Tire Repair
If your tire becomes damaged, it may be
repaired if it meets the following criteria:
The tire has not been driven on when flat.
The damage is only on the tread section of
your tire (sidewall damage is not repair-
able).
The puncture is no greater than a ¼ of an
inch (6 mm). Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire
repairs and additional information.
Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires
that have experienced a loss of pressure
should be replaced immediately with another
Run Flat tire of identical size and service
description (Load Index and Speed Symbol).
Replace the tire pressure sensor as well as it
is not designed to be reused.
Run Flat Tires — If Equipped

Run Flat tires allow you the capability to drive
50 miles (80 km) at 50 mph (80 km/h) after
a rapid loss of inflation pressure. This rapid
loss of inflation is referred to as the Run Flat
mode. A Run Flat mode occurs when the tire
inflation pressure is of/or below 14 psi (96
kPa). Once a Run Flat tire reaches the run flat
mode it has limited driving capabilities and
needs to be replaced immediately. A Run Flat
tire is not repairable. When a run flat tire is
changed after driving with underinflated tire
condition, please replace the TPM sensor as it
is not designed to be reused when driven
under run flat mode (14 psi (96 kPa)) condi -
tion.

NOTE:
TPM Sensor must be replaced after driving
the vehicle on a flat tire condition.
WARNING!
High speed driving with your vehicle under
maximum load is dangerous. The added
strain on your tires could cause them to
fail. You could have a serious collision. Do
not drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum
capacity at continuous speeds above
75 mph (120 km/h).
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!
Combining radial ply tires with other types
of tires on your vehicle will cause your
vehicle to handle poorly. The instability
could cause a collision. Always use radial
ply tires in sets of four. Never combine
them with other types of tires.
