Before loading, ensure that the transmission is in “Neutral” and the ignition switch is in
position to unlock the steering (Neutral position can be selected by pulling back paddle
shifter handles. More information on the operation of the transmission is found later in
this guide). When loading, remember that the eye bolts are designed for a straight ahead
pull within a 20 degree window, so stop the vehicle as the winch wire rope begins to pull
downward. To prevent too much downward pull you will need to keep the leading edge
of the vehicle about 2 feet from the winch drum.
When the vehicle is in its loaded position on the flatbed with the bed still in the deployed
position, secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling by chocking the wheels and
attaching one wheel strap to the wheel closest to you then set the parking brake. The
parking brake needs to be set with the vehicle in an inclined position for maximum park
brake applied force (refer to Electronic Parking Brake Override information in this
guide). In the event the parking brake does not function, secure the vehicle by placing
the transmission in First or Reverse gear while secure the vehicle and tilting the bed.
Once the bed is in its transport position and the vehicle is secured to the bed with four
wheel strap tie-downs, place the transmission into Neutral to prevent gear loading during
transport.
If the alarm activates while loading the vehicle, it is most likely caused by the tilt monitor
in the anti-theft system. To deactivate the tilt sensor, remove the key from the ignition,
open the glove box and press the tilt sensor switch. The tilt sensor is reactivated the next
time the ignition is switched to the “ON” position.
These vehicles must be secured to the flatbed surface using nylon straps around the
wheels as there is no provision for hooks or chains on this vehicle.
