Launching or retrieving a boat

Disconnect the wiring to the trailer before backing the trailer

into the water. Reconnect the wiring to the trailer after the

trailer is removed from the water.

When backing down a ramp during boat launching or retrieval:

• do not allow the static water level to rise above the bottom edge of

the rear bumper.

• do not allow waves to break higher than 6 inches (15 cm) above the

bottom edge of the rear bumper.

Exceeding these limits may allow water to enter vehicle components:

• causing internal damage to the components.

• affecting driveability, emissions and reliability.

Replace the rear axle lubricant any time the axle has been submerged in

water. Rear axle lubricant quantities are not to be checked or changed

unless a leak is suspected or repair required.

RECREATIONAL TOWING

Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational (RV) towing.

An example of recreational towing would be towing your vehicle behind

a motorhome. These guidelines are designed to ensure that your

transmission is not damaged.

2WD and 4WD vehicles with manual transmissions:

Before you tow your vehicle:

• Release the parking brake.

• Move the gearshift to the neutral position.

• Turn the key in the ignition to the OFF/UNLOCKED position.

• The maximum recommended speed is 55 mph (88 km/h).

• The maximum recommended distance is unlimited.

• Put 4x4 switch in 2WD mode (4x4 only)

• The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no

damage is done to the internal transmission components.

For 4x4 vehicles with a manual transmission, it is recommended that a

Neutral Tow Kit be purchased and installed by an authorized dealer if

the vehicle is towed frequently.
