Before pulling loads with a winch, refer to the winch manufacturer’s instructions.
Reduce your speed when hauling a load and turn gradually. Avoid hills and
rough terrain. Never attempt steep hills. Allow more distance for braking,
especially on inclined surfaces and when passengers are on board. Be
careful not to skid or slide.
Pulling a Trailer (if Equipped with Hitch)
NOICE: AODES approved rear hitch must be properly in staled on the vehicle
for hauling trailers.
Driving this vehicle with a trailer substantially increases the risk of toppling,
especially on inclined slopes. If a trailer is used behind the vehicle make sure
that its hitch is compatible with the one on the vehicle. Make sure the trailer is
horizontal with the vehicle. (In some instances a special extension may have to
be installed on the vehicle hitch). Use security chains or cables to secure the
trailer with the vehicle.
Reduce your speed when pulling a trailer and turn gradually. Avoid hills and
rough terrain. Never attempt steep hills. Allow more distance for braking,
especially on inclined surfaces. Be careful not to skid or slide.
Improperly loading a trailer may cause loss of control. Respect the
recommended maximum hauling capacity and maximum tongue load(Refer to
MAXMUM HAUL ING CAPACITY table).Make sure there is at least some
weight on the tongue.
Always make sure load is evenly distributed and safely secured on the trailer;
an evenly balanced trailer is easier to control.
This vehicle may require additional stopping distance if hauling heavy loads,
especially on inclined surfaces.
Always put the shift lever to L(low range) for hauling a trailer-in addition to
providing more torque, operating in low range helps account for the increased
load on the rear tires.
When stopped or parked, block the vehicle and trailer wheels from possible
movement.
Use caution when disconnecting a loaded trailer; it or its load may topple
on you or others.
When hauling a trailer, respect the following maximum hauling capacity.
