auxiliary fuse box often called “Power Distribution Box” located under the hood on
the right side of the engine as shown in Figures 1-4 below. There are a variety of fuse
layouts. You can find the specific location of the fuel pump fuse in your owner’s
manual. Failure to remove this fuse may cause severe damage to your engine. If you

About Maximum Trailer Weight
The original manufacturer of your vehicle has specified a Maximum Trailer Weight for your
vehicle. It may be found in your vehicle owner’s manual.
This Superchips product is designed to increase your engine power and performance. It
does not change the engine, suspension or drive train characteristics that limit the maximum
trailer weight your vehicle is designed to tow. Towing trailer weights above the maximum
trailer weight specified by the vehicle manufacturer may cause transmission or other
damage.
If you wish to tow greater than the maximum trailer weight for your vehicle, modifications to
your vehicle may need to be made. Consult your performance auto mechanic for the proper
vehicle modifications.
Damage caused by towing weights greater than the maximum trailer weight specified for
your vehicle shall not be the responsibility of Superchips Inc.
