Load distribution hitch
The vehicle may have a load
distribution hitch.
The lo ad distribution hitch mu st be
removed when not in use. Do not
leave the hitch assembly in the
receiver unless a trailer is attached.
A load distribution hitch transfers
load to the vehicle’s front wheels,
aiding brake performance. This also
enables more load to be carried in
the vehicle without exceeding the
rear axle load limit.
Superlift shock absorbers
The vehicle may have superlift
shock absorbers.
They do not increase the carrying
capacity of the vehicl e. Do not
exceed maximum loads for the
vehicle. Overloading of axle parts
may shorten the life of the vehicle.
Note:
1. Superlift shock absorbers help to
raise the rear of the vehicle and
improve ground clearance.
However, as superlift pressure is
increased, the weight distribution
changes, i.e. the proportion of
load on the rear axle increases.
This means that very high
superlift pressures combined
with a fully laden vehicle may
exceed the rear axle load limit.
Do not exceed th e maximum
pressure of 650 kPa.
2. Adjust superlift inflation pressure
so that the bottom edges of the
vehicle doors are horizontal. Do
not exceed the maximum
pressure of 650 kPa.
3. Superlift air pressure must never
be less than 100 kPa or the
airbags will be torn, even when
no trailer is attached to the
vehicle.

WARNING
At no time may t he total front or
rear axle load exceed the
maximum values specified. See
“Axle loads” under Vehicl e Weight
on page 12‑6.
