106 SAFETY
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.
NOTE:
Your vehicle can be equipped with either Tire Service Kit,
compact spare tire or regular size spare tire (with or without
original TPMS sensor).
1. Tire Service Kit (original tire sealant – if equipped): Afterfixing the punctured tire with original tire sealant, the
original situation will be restored, so system will turn off
the telltale during the normal drive.
2. Compact Spare Tire – (if equipped): The compact spare wheel is not equipped with TPMS sensor. So when
mounted, during the normal drive the system will turn
on the telltale (flashing for approximately 75 seconds then
remains solid). This condition persists until a wheel
equipped with original TPMS sensor has been mounted
on the vehicle. 3. Regular size spare tire (not equipped with TPMS sensor):
When mounted, during the normal drive the system will
turn on the telltale (flashing for approximately 75 seconds
then remains solid). This condition persists until a wheel
equipped with original TPMS sensor has been mounted
on the vehicle. Then the system will be restored and the
telltale will turn off during the normal drive.
4. Regular size spare tire (equipped with TPMS sensor): When mounted, the telltale will turn off during the
normal drive.
5. In all the above cases please check the replacement tire inflation pressure before driving your vehicle.
6. In case of tire replacement, if the vehicle is driven for short periods of time, then the system can take a while to
be restored.
NOTE:
For a correct Tire Pressure Monitoring behavior, please wait
for about 20 minutes in key-off during each tire substitution.

190 STARTING AND OPERATING
(Continued)
WARNING!
• Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that
is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that
may be difficult for the driver to control. You could lose
control of your vehicle and have a collision.
• When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload your vehicle or trailer. Overloading can cause a loss of
control, poor performance or damage to brakes, axle,
engine, transmission, steering, suspension, chassis
structure or tires.
• Safety chains must always be used between your vehicle and trailer. Always connect the chains to the
hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains
under the trailer tongue and allow enough slack for
turning corners.
• Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade.When parking, apply the parking brake on the tow
vehicle. Put the tow vehicle transmission in PARK. For
four-wheel drive vehicles, make sure the transfer case
is not in NEUTRAL. Always, block or "chock" the
trailer wheels.
• GCWR must not be exceeded.
• Total weight must be distributed between the tow vehicle and the trailer such that the following four
ratings are not exceeded:
• GVWR
• GTW
• GAWR
• Tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 287
Dark Vapor Chrome, Black Satin Chrome, or Low Gloss
Clear Coat Wheels
Tire Chains (Traction Devices)
Due to limited clearance, tire chains or traction devices are
not recommended.
Tire Rotation Recommendations
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle operate at
different loads and perform different steering, driving, and
braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal
rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires. The
benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with aggres-
sive tread designs such as those on all season type tires. Rota -
tion will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow and
wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” for the proper maintenance
intervals. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should
be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
CAUTION!
If your vehicle is equipped with these specialty wheels,
DO NOT USE wheel cleaners, abrasives, or polishing
compounds. They will permanently damage this finish
and such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. HAND WASH ONLY USING MILD
SOAP AND WATER WITH A SOFT CLOTH. Used on a
regular basis; this is all that is required to maintain this
finish.
CAUTION!
Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are used.
