W ARNING! A void trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision. Remember that the rear doors can only be opened from the outside when the child protection locks are engaged. NOTE: After setting the child protection door lock system, always test the door from the inside to make certain it is in the desired position.
windows will operate only when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and for ten minutes after the ignition is turned OFF or the driver’s door is opened.
NOTE: If the window runs into any obstacle during the auto-closure it will reverse direction and then stop. Re- move the obstacle and use the window switch again to close the window . Any impact due to rough road condi- tions may trigger the auto reverse function unexpectedly during auto closure.
LIFTGA TE The liftgate can be unlocked using the remote keyless entry transmitter or by activating the power door lock switches located on the front doors.
Once unlocked, the liftgate can be opened or closed. T o open the liftgate, depress the liftgate r elease switch located in the exterior handle and pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion. The liftgate will not manually open if the vehicle is in gear or the vehicle speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h).
NOTE: • In the event of a power malfunction to the liftgate, an emergency liftgate latch release can be used to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch r elease can be accessed through a snap-in cover located on the lift- gate trim panel. W ARNING! During power operation, personal injury or cargo damage may occur .
• The power liftgate must be in the full open position for any of the buttons to operate. If the liftgate is not fully open, press the remote keyless entry transmitter or overhead console button to fully open the liftgate and then press again to close.
W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison- ous exhaust gases into your vehicle. Y ou and your passengers could be injured by these fumes.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buck- led up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly .
W ARNING! It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the front seat, next to your arm in the rear seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt.
W ARNING! • A belt buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front and second row outboard seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to help position the belt away from your neck. Push in on the anchorage release button to release the anchorage, and then move it up or down to the position that serves you best.
When sitting in this seating location, ensure the seatback is fully engaged with the seatback latch by pushing rearwar d on the center seatback until you hear a click that signals latch engagement.
W ARNING! • If the small (keyed buckle) latch plate and keyed buckle are not properly connected when the seat belt is used by an occupant, the seat belt will not be able to provide the proper restraint and will increase the risk of injury in a collision.
T o reattach the seat belt to the third row center seat, pull the small (keyed buckle) latch plate forward from the headliner slots and insert it into the keyed buckle until there is an audible click. Refer to the previous section for the proper seat belt usage.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove any slack from the seat belt system in the event of a collision. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision.
The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) can be en- abled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by following these steps: NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or ST ART position.
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pregnant women use seat belts throughout their pregnancies. Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug against the hips as possible.
Driver And Right Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)—Airbags This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the steering wheel.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured be- cause the airbags are no longer functional. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are de- signed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
Here are some simple steps you can follow to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years and under should always ride buckled up in a r ear seat in an appropriate child restraint. Infants in rear-facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the fr ont seat of a vehicle with a passenger fr ont airbag.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.
How the Airbag System W orks • The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines if a frontal collision is severe enough to requir e the airbags to inflate. The front airbag inflators are de- signed to provide differ ent rates of airbag inflation from direction provided by the ORC.
• The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units are located in the center of the steering wheel and the right side of the instrument panel. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the airbags, it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the front airbags.
The following requir ements must be strictly adhered to: • Do not modify the front seat center console or center position seat in any way . • Do not use prior or future model year seat covers not designated for the specific model being repair ed. Al- ways use the correct seat cover specified for the vehicle.
However , if you haven’t healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately . As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by- product of the process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
• The light flickers or comes on and remains on while driving. NOTE: If the speedometer , tachometer or any engine related gauges are not working, the airbag control mod- ule may also be disabled. The airbags may not be ready to inflate for your protection.
may be released for incorporation in aggregate crash databases, such as those maintained by the US govern- ment and various states. Data of a potentially sensitive nature, such as would identify a particular driver , ve- hicle, or crash, will be treated confidentially .
Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time - babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law , and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
LA TCH child restraint anchorage system. (See the LA TCH - Child Seat Anchorage System section.) • Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position.
• If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm. W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint.
around the child restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip. If the seat belt has a cinching latch plate, pulling up on the shoulder portion of the lap/shoulder belt will tighten the belt.
and hooks for connection to the top tether anchorages have been available for some time. For some older child restraints, many child restraint manufacturers offer add-on tether strap kits or retro-fit kits. Y ou are urged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child restraint in any vehicle.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge that you carefully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child restraint. Not all child r estraint systems will be installed as described here. Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that were provided with the child restraint system.
anchorages. Next attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the anchorage bars, pushing aside the seat cover material. Then attach the tether strap to the anchor- age located on the back of the seat, being careful to route the tether strap to provide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restraint.
Installing Child Restraints Using the V ehicle Seat Belt The second and third r ow seats have either cinching latch plates or automatic locking r etractors which are designed to keep the lap portion tight around the child restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap. Children and infants are safer when properly restrained in a child restraint system secured in a rear seating position.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to seat failure and injury to the child. In a collision, the seat could come loose and allow the child to crash into the inside of the vehicle or other passengers, or even be thrown from the vehicle.
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles of operation. This is a normal part of the break-in and is not an indication of difficulty . SAFETY TIPS Exhaust System W ARNING! Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an ex- tremely toxic gas that by itself is colorless and odorless.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Heater Defroster Ducts Inspect the heater defroster ducts for proper operation. Check for proper air flow through all defroster ducts.
Lights Check the operation of all exterior lights. Check turn signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument panel. Door Latches Check for positive closing, latching and locking. Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, water , oil, or other fluid leaks.

If the key is not ON then the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will be on or flashing. NV 244 Generation II T ransfer Case Operating Information / Precautions The NV 244 Generation II is an electric shift transfer case and is operated by the 4WD Control Switch, which is located on the instrument panel.
NOTE: The transfer case Neutral (N) position is to be used for recr eational towing only . See Recreational T ow- ing section for specific procedures on shifting into and out of Neutral (N). T ransfer Case Position Indicator Lights T ransfer case position indicator lights are located on the instrument cluster .
4WD LOCK positions at a given road speed. T ake care not to overspeed the engine and do not exceed 40 km/h (25 mph). Proper operation of four -wheel-drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and circumference on each wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause damage to the transfer case.
For additional information on the appropriate use of each transfer case mode position see the following informa- tion: 4WD Normal Four-Wheel-Drive High Range - Employs inter- axle differ ential. Allows fr ont and rear wheels to rotate at differ ent speeds.
Shifting Procedure - NV 244 Generation II T ransfer Case NOTE: The 4x4 system will not allow shifts between 4WD/ 4WD LOCK if the rear wheels are spinning (no traction). In this situation a position indicator light will flash and the original position indicator light will remain ON.
3. While still r olling, rotate the transfer case control switch to the desired position. 4. After the position indicator light has stopped flashing, shift the transmission back into gear . Alternate Procedure 1. Bring the vehicle to complete stop. 2.
3. Replace tires when tread wear indicators first become visible. 4. Keep tires properly inflated. 5. Maintain sufficient distance between your vehicle and the car in front to avoid a collision in a sudden stop. P ARKING BRAKE The foot operated parking brake is positioned below the lower left corner of the instrument panel.
NOTE: The instrument cluster brake warning light indicates only that the parking brake is applied. Y ou must be sure the parking brake is fully applied before leaving the vehicle. When parking on a hill, turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade.
BRAKE SYSTEM In the event power assist is lost for any reason, (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function. The effort requir ed to brake the vehicle will be significantly increased over that requir ed with the power system operating.
At the instant one of the wheels is about to lock up, a slight pulsation can be felt in the brake pedal, indicating that the ABS is in the regulating mode.
W ARNING! • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
If for some reason, the power assist is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these condi- tions you will observe a substantial increase in steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds and during parking maneuvers.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic brake control system that includes ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System), BAS (Brake Assist System), TCS (T raction Con- trol System), ERM (Electr onic Roll Mitigation), ESP (Elec- tronic Stability Pr ogram) and TSC (T railer Sway Control).
BAS (Brake Assist System) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressure to the brakes.
W ARNING! • BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
ERM (Electronic Roll Mitigation) This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by monitoring the driver ’s steering wheel input and the speed of the vehicle.
ESP (Electronic Stability Program) This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor - rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter- acting the over/under steer condition.
W ARNING! • ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded. • ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, or hydro- planing.
conditions and mor e wheel spin than ESP would nor- mally allow is required to gain traction. TSC (T railer Sway Control) is not available when the system is in the ⬙ Partial Off ⬙ mode. T o turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the “ESP-Control OFF” Control Switch.
with off r oad driving but ESP function r eturns to provide the stability feature at speeds above 30 mph (48 km/h). The ABS is in a special Of f-Road mode that allows wheels to lock at lower speeds if gravel is detected to shorten stopping distances.
several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected. NOTE: • The “ESP Indicator Light” and the “ESP/BAS W arning Lamp” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON.
ROCKING THE VEHICLE If vehicle becomes stuck in snow , sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Move the gear selector rhythmically between FIRST and REVERSE, while applying slight pressur e to the accelerator .
• European Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards. T ires designed to this standard have the tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the section width. The letter ⬙ P ⬙ is absent from this tire size designation. Example: 215/65R15 96H • L T (Light T ruck)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standards ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on European design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index —A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry . H = Speed Symbol —A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire; however , the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and Tire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tire inflation pressur e is listed on either the face of the driver’s door or the driver’s side “B” pillar .
3) the tire size designed for your vehicle 4) the cold tire inflation pressures for the front, rear and spare tires. Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
292 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, af fect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy— Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread life r esulting in a need for earlier tir e replacement. Under inflation, also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
check tire pressur e. Do not make a visual judgement when determining pr oper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they are under inflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped).
T ire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressur e is very important.
Radial-Ply Tires W ARNING! Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly . The instability could cause an accident. Al- ways use radial ply tires in sets of four (or 6, in case of trucks with dual rear wheels).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
W ARNING! The limited use spare tires are for emergency use only . Installation of this limited use spare tire affects vehicle handling. W ith this tire, do not drive more than 60 mph (100 km/h). Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure listed on either your tire placard or limited use spare tire and wheel assembly .
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have an accident result- ing in serious injury or death.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspen- sion dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and brak- ing of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear .
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. T ire chain use is permitted only on the rear tires of your truck. NOTE: The use of class “S” chains is permitted on your vehicle with P245/70R17 tires.
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform dif ferent steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear pat- terns.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) — IF EQUIPPED The T ire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e based on the vehicle recommended cold placard pressur e (the placard is lo- cated on the drivers side B-pillar).
Base System – If Equipped The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electr onic sensors to monitor tir e pressur e levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure readings to the Receiver Module.
when a system fault is detected. The flash cycle will repeat every ten minutes, without an audible chime, until the fault condition no longer exists. If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the wheel rim sensor . NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tire failure or condition.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS All engines (except 5.7L engines) are de- signed to meet all emissions regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when using high quality un- leaded “regular” gasoline having an oc- tane rating of 87. The routine use of pre- mium gasoline is not r ecommended.
Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country requir e the use of cleaner burning gasoline r eferred to as “Reformulated Gasoline.” Reformulated gasolines contain oxygenates, and are spe- cifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and im- prove air quality .
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane. Gasolines blended with MMT provide no performance advantage beyond gasolines of the same octane number without MMT . Gasolines blended with MMT reduce spark plug life and reduce emission system performance.
Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance: • The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law .
Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill.
CAUTION! A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the Malfunction Indicator Light to turn on. CAUTION! T o avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling. NOTE: When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
W ARNING! A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. Y ou could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling. Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message After fuel is added, the vehicle diagnostic system can determine if the fuel filler cap is loose, impr operly installed, or damaged.
W ARNING! • Never add fuel when the engine is running. • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel cap is removed or the tank filled. FLEXIBLE FUEL E-85 General Information The information in this section is for Flexible Fuel ve- hicles only .
Fuel Requirements Y our vehicle will operate on both unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87, or E-85 fuel, or any mixture of these two. For best results, a refueling pattern that alternates be- tween E-85 and unleaded gasoline should be avoided.
Cruising Range Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon than gasoline, you will experience an increase in fuel con- sumption. Y ou can expect your MPG and your driving range to decr ease by about 30% compared to gasoline operation.
VEHICLE LOADING Certification Label As required by National Highway T raffic Safety Admin- istration Regulations, your vehicle has a certification label affixed to the driver’s side door .
Gross Axle W eight Rating (GA WR) The GA WR is the maximum permissible load on the front and rear axles. The load must be distributed in the cargo area so that the GA WR of each axle is not exceeded. Each axle GA WR is determined by the component in the system with the lowest load carrying capacity (axle, springs, tires, or wheels).
then be determined separately to be sure that the load is properly distributed over front and rear axle. W eighing the vehicle may show that the GA WR of either the front or rear axles has been exceeded but the total load is within the specified GVWR.
after the vehicle has been weighed both in its ⴖ curb weight ⴖ condition, and in its ⴖ loaded and ready for operation ⴖ condition. Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) 6500 LBS. TRAILER TOWING In this section you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with your vehicle.
Gross T railer W eight (GTW) The gr oss trailer weight (GTW) is the weight of the trailer plus the weight of all cargo, consumables and equipment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or on the trailer in its ⬙ loaded and ready for operation ⬙ condition.
Frontal Area The maximum height and maximum width of the front of a trailer . TSC (T railer Sway Control) – If Equipped • T railer Sway Control – Electronic TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize a swaying trailer and will take the appropriate actions to attempt to stop the sway .
used in accordance with the manufacturers’ 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 contr ol also dampens sway caused by traffic and cr osswinds and contributes positively to tow vehicle and trailer stability .
Fifth-Wheel Hitch A special high platform with a coupling that mounts over the rear axle of the tow vehicle in the tr uck bed. Connects a vehicle and fifth-wheel trailer with a coupling king pin.
Gooseneck Hitch The gooseneck hitch employs a pivoted coupling arm which attaches to a ball mounted in the bed of a pickup truck. The coupling arm connects to the hitch mounted over the rear axle in the truck bed.
T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) NOTE: For additional trailer towing information (maxi- mum trailer weight ratings) r efer to the following website addresses: • http:// www .dodge.com/towing . • http:// www .dodge.ca (Canada).
• The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle. • The weight of the driver and all passengers. NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make your trailer towing as safe as possible: 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.

actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated brake system, an electronic brake controller is not required. − T railer brakes are recommended for trailers over 1,000 lbs (454 kg) and required for trailers in excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg).
NOTE: Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicles wiring harness. The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector . Refer to the following illustrations. T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing the trailer in an area away from heavy traffic.
If using a manual transmission vehicle for trailer towing, all starts must be in FIRST gear to avoid excessive clutch slippage. T owing T ips — Automatic T ransmission The “D” range can be selected when towing. However , if frequent shifting occurs while in this range, the “TOW HAUL” feature should be selected.
T owing T ips — Cooling System T o reduce potential for engine and transmission over- heating, take the following actions: − City Driving When stopped for short periods of time, put transmission in neutral and increase engine idle speed. − Highway Driving Reduce speed.
CAUTION! Using this vehicle for snowplow applications can cause damage to the vehicle. W ARNING! Attaching a snowplow to this vehicle could ad- versely affect performance of the airbag system in an accident. Do not expect that the airbag will perform as described earlier in this manual RECREA TIONAL TOWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME, ETC.
W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the Neutral (N) position without first fully engaging the parking brake.
2. Shut engine OFF . 3. T urn the ignition key to the ON position without starting the engine. 4. Depress brake pedal. 5. Shift automatic transmission to Neutral (N). 6. Using the point of a ballpoint pen or similar object, depress the recessed transfer case Neutral (N) button for 4 seconds.
NOTE: The ignition key must be ON for a shift to take place and for the position indicator lights to be operable. If the key is not ON, the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will be on or flashing.

Service manuals are available which include detailed service information for your vehicle. Refer to these manuals before attempting any procedur e yourself.
could adversely affect the engine or vehicle performance. These items should be inspected if a malfunction is observed or suspected. Engine Oil Checking Oil Level T o assure proper lubrication of your vehicle’s engine, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level.
Change Engine Oil Road conditions and your style of driving affect the interval at which your oil should be changed. Check the following to determine if ANY apply to you: • Day or night temperatures are below 32°F (0°C). • Stop and Go driving. • Extensive engine idling.
Dusty Conditions Driving through dust-laden air increases the problems of keeping abrasive materials out of the engine. Under these conditions, special attention should be given to the engine air cleaner and the crankcase inlet air cleaner . The crankcase ventilation system should also be checked periodically .
Lubricants which do not have both, the engine oil certi- fication mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade num- ber should not be used. Synthetic Engine Oils Y ou may use synthetic engine oils provided the recom- mended oil quality requir ements are met, and the recom- mended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes are followed.
Drive Belts — Check Condition and T ension Belt tension is contr olled by means of an automatic tensioner . No belt tension adjustments are required. However , belt and belt tensioner condition should be inspected at the specified intervals, and replaced if re- quired.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Under normal driving conditions, replace the air filter at the intervals shown on Schedule “A”. If, however , you drive the vehicle frequently under dusty or severe con- ditions, the filter element should be inspected periodi- cally and replaced if necessary at the intervals shown on Schedule “B”.
Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter requires the use of unleaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the ef fectiveness of the catalyst as an emission control device. Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not require maintenance.
W ARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your ex- haust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact any- thing that can burn.
W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don’t allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin or clothing. Don’t lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme- diately with large amounts of water .
include cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance test. Drive belt tension should also be checked at this time. W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you.
Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydrofluorocar - bon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Pro- tection Agency and is an ozone-saving product.
Drive Shaft Constant V elocity Joints All four wheel drive models are equipped with four constant velocity joints. Periodic lubrication of these joints is not required. However , the joint boot should be inspected for external leakage or damage periodically .
A void using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc. Windshield Washers The fluid reservoir should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals.
Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a pr operly maintained engine exhaust system. Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust system,.
Cooling System W ARNING! Y ou or others can be badly burned by hot coolant or steam from your radiator . If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, don’t open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radia- tor is hot.
If the solution is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner . Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all deposits and chemicals.
Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant that allows extended maintenance intervals. This coolant can be used up to 5 Y ears or 100,000 miles before replacement. T o prevent reducing this extended mainte- nance period, it is important that you use the same coolant throughout the life of your vehicle.
W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add coolant when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
When additional coolant is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill. Points T o Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles (a few kilometers) of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the front of the engine compartment.
• Do not change the thermostat for summer or winter operation. If r eplacement is ever necessary , install ONL Y the correct type thermostat. Other designs may result in unsatisfactory coolant performance, poor gas mileage, and increased emissions.
Positive Crankcase V entilation (PCV) V alve Proper operation of the crankcase ventilation system requir es that the PCV valve be free of sticking or plug- ging because of deposits. Deposits can accumulate in the PCV valve and passage with increasing mileage.
W ARNING! Use of brake fluid that may have a lower initial boiling point, or is unidentified, as to specifications may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking. Y ou could have an accident. W ARNING! Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching on fire.
W ARNING! W orn brake hoses can burst and cause brake failure. Y ou could have an accident. If you see any sign of cracking, scuffing, or worn spots, have the brake hoses replaced immediately . Automatic T ransmission Fluid Level Check Check the fluid level while the transmission is at normal operating temperature 180°F (82°C).
a minimum of two (2) minutes for the oil to fully drain into the transmission before rechecking the fluid level. NOTE: If it is necessary to check the transmission below the operating temperature, the fluid level should be between the two “COLD” (lower) holes on the dipstick with the fluid at approximately 70°F ( 21°C) (room temperature).
CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac- turers recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder . Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturers recommended fluid will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes.
Axles Refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type. The manufacturer does not recommend regularly sched- uled oil changes for axles in vehicles whose operation is classified as normal truck service. NOTE: The presence of water in the gear lubricant will result in corrosion and possible failure of differ ential components.
