Towing
Tongue weight
WARNING
The following operating instructions should be
read in conjunction with the towing chart given
later in this section.
The tongue weight plus the combined weight
of the vehicle's load carrying area and rear
seat passengers must never exceed the
specified maximum rear axle load (see
‘TOWING WEIGHTS’, page 246).
WARNING
DO NOT exceed the gross weight or axle loads
stated on the certification label attached to
the vehicle. Exceeding allowable vehicle and
axle loads will increase the risk of tire or
suspension failure, increase vehicle brake
stopping distance, and adversely affect
vehicle handling and stability which may
result in a crash or rollover.

it is important that the following points are
observed:
