STARTING AND OPERATING95
Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR)
The GCWR is the total permissible weight of your vehicle
and trailer when weighed in combination.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front and rear
axles. Distribute the load over the front and rear axles
evenly. Make sure that you do not exceed either front or
rear GAWR
Úpage 93.
Tongue Weight (TW)
The TW is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by
the trailer. You must consider this as part of the load on
your vehicle.
Trailer Frontal Area
The Frontal Area is the maximum height multiplied by the
maximum width of the front of a trailer.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
The TSC can be a mechanical telescoping link that can be
installed between the hitch receiver and the trailer tongue
that typically provides adjustable friction associated with
the telescoping motion to dampen any unwanted trailer
swaying motions while traveling.
The electronic TSC (if equipped) recognizes a swaying
trailer and automatically applies individual wheel brakes
and/or reduces engine power to attempt to eliminate the
trailer sway.
Weight-Carrying Hitch
A Weight-Carrying Hitch supports the trailer tongue weight,
just as if it were luggage located at a hitch ball or some
other connecting point of the vehicle. These kinds of
hitches are commonly used to tow small and medium
sized trailers.
Weight-Distributing Hitch

A Weight-Distributing Hitch works by applying leverage through
spring (load) bars. They are typically used for heavier loads to
distribute trailer tongue weight to the tow vehicle's front axle
and the trailer axle(s). When used in accordance with
manufacturer’s directions, it provides for a more level ride,
offering more consistent steering and brake control thereby
enhancing towing safety. The addition of a friction/hydraulic
sway control also dampens sway caused by traffic and
crosswinds and contributes positively to tow vehicle and trailer
stability. TSC and a Weight-Distributing (load equalizing) Hitch
are recommended for heavier TW and may be required
depending on vehicle and trailer configuration/loading to
comply with GAWR requirements.

WARNING!
It is important that you do not exceed the maximum
front or rear GAWR. A dangerous driving condition can
result if either rating is exceeded. You could lose control
of the vehicle and have a collision.
WARNING!
An improperly adjusted Weight-Distributing Hitch
system may reduce handling, stability, braking perfor -
mance, and could result in a collision.

 Weight-Distributing Hitch systems may not be compatible
with surge brake couplers. Consult with your hitch and
trailer manufacturer or a reputable Recreational Vehicle
dealer for additional information.

NOTE:If the folding, non-adjustable head restraint interferes with
the installation of the child restraint, the head restraint
may be folded and the child seat installed in front of it.

Car Seat With Head Restraint Folded

Locating The LATCH Anchorages

The lower anchorages are round bars that are
found at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets
the seatback, below the anchorage symbols on the
seatback. They are just visible when you lean into
the rear seat to install the child restraint. You will easily feel
them if you run your finger along the gap between the seatback
and seat cushion.


Can the rear-facing child restraint touch the back of the front passenger seat? Yes

The child seat may touch the back of the front passenger seat if the child restraint manufacturer
also allows contact. See your child restraint owner’s manual for more information.

Can the rear head restraints be removed? YesThe 2nd row head restraints on bench and the center head restraint in the 8 passenger
vehicle can be removed if they interfere with the installation of the child restraint. 2nd row Stow 'n Go head restraints are not removable. The 3rd row center head restraint is
removable in all vehicles, but the 3rd row outboard head restraints are not removable
Úpage 35.
Frequently Asked Questions About Installing Child Restraints With LATCH
WARNING!
Always make sure the head restraint is in its upright
position when the seat is to be used by an occupant
who is not in a child restraint. Sitting in a seat with the

Do not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off
the hub.
6. Install the inflatable spare on the vehicle, located in the rear cargo area of the vehicle.

Mounting Inflatable Spare Tire

NOTE:
Do not install the wheel cover on the inflatable spare tire.
7. Leave the vehicle on the jack and start inflating the inflatable spare after the tire has been mounted to
the vehicle. Secure the wheel to the hub by tightening
the nuts with the wrench. After inflation, once the
vehicle is lowered you will have a second opportunity
to “torque” the lug nuts
Úpage 235. 8. Inflate the tire to the prescribed pressure 60 psi
(4.2 Bar) using the Portable Air Compressor
Úpage 179 or Tire Service Kit if equipped Úpage 180.
9. Lower the vehicle once the inflatable Spare has reached its pressure and the compressor-hose has
been removed from the tire valve.
10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased
leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until
each nut has been tightened twice
Úpage 235.

checked with a torque wrench by an authorized
dealer or at a service station.
11. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
12. Place the deflated (flat) tire and foam tray cover assembly in the rear cargo area. Do not stow the
deflated tire in the inflatable spare tire location. Have
the full-sized tire repaired or replaced, as soon as
possible.WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the
vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt
someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to
remove the tire.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the wheel nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result
in serious injury.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the inflatable spare tire with the valve
stem facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if
the inflatable spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard
stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired
or replaced immediately.
