Before You Go Off-Roading
There are some things to do before you go out. For
example, be sure to have all necessary maintenance
and service work done. Check to make sure all
underbody shields (if equipped) are properly attached.
Be sure you read all the information about your
four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicle in this manual.
Is there enough fuel? Is the spare tire fully in ated?
Are the uid levels up where they should be? What
are the local laws that apply to off-roading where you will
be driving? If you do not know, you should check with
law enforcement people in the area. Will you be on
someone’s private land? If so, be sure to get the
necessary permission.
Loading Your Vehicle for Off-Road
Driving
There are some important things to remember about
how to load your vehicle.
The heaviest things should be on the load oor and
forward of your rear axle. Put heavier items as far
forward as you can.
Be sure the load is secured properly, so driving on
the off-road terrain does not toss things around.
{CAUTION:
Cargo on the load oor piled higher than
the seatbacks can be thrown forward
during a sudden stop. You or your
passengers could be injured. Keep cargo
below the top of the seatbacks.
Unsecured cargo on the load oor can be
tossed about when driving over rough
terrain. You or your passengers can be
struck by ying objects. Secure the cargo
properly.
Heavy loads on the roof raise the vehicle’s
center of gravity, making it more likely to
roll over. You can be seriously or fatally
injured if the vehicle rolls over. Put heavy
loads inside the cargo area, not on the
roof. Keep cargo in the cargo area as far
forward and low as possible.

Q:What is total vehicle reserve capacity?
A:This is the difference between your GVWR and
the weight of your vehicle with full fuel and
passengers. It is the amount of weight you can
add to your vehicle before reaching your GVWR.
Keep in mind that reserve capacity numbers
are intended as a guide when selecting the amount
of equipment or cargo your vehicle can carry.
If you are unsure of your vehicle’s front, rear, or
total weight, go to a weigh station and weigh your
vehicle. Your dealer can also help you with this.
The total vehicle reserve capacity for your
vehicle can be found in the lower right corner of
the Certi cation/Tire label as shown previously.
