While the vehicle will operate on regular fuel when in L Off-Road mode (if equipped), the engine has been calibrated for maximum performance using premium fuel.
364 STARTING AND OPERATING headway. Over-revving the engine can spin the wheels and traction will be lost. If you start to slow to a stop, try turning your steering wheel no more than a 1/4 turn quickly back and forth, while still applying throttle. This will allow the tires to get a fresh ⬙bite⬙ and help maintain your momentum. CAUTION! On icy or slippery roads, do not downshift at high engine RPM’s or vehicle speeds because engine braking may cause skidding and loss of control.
STARTING AND OPERATING 365 LOCK engaged and ESC turned off. Reduced tire pressure will drastically improve your traction and handling, while driving on the soft sand, but you must return the tires to normal air pressure before driving on pavement or other hard surfaces. Be sure you have a way to reinflate the tires prior to reducing the pressure. CAUTION! Reduced tire pressures may cause tire unseating and total loss of air pressure.
366 STARTING AND OPERATING Driving Up Hill Once you have determined your ability to proceed and have shifted into the appropriate gear, line your vehicle up for the straightest possible run. Accelerate with an easy constant throttle and apply more power as you start up the hill. Do not race forward into a steep grade; the abrupt change of grade could cause you to lose control. If the front end begins to bounce, ease off the throttle slightly to bring all four tires back on the ground.
STARTING AND OPERATING 367 LOCK engaged and proceed with caution. Allow engine and hill descent braking to control the descent and apply your brakes if necessary, but do not allow the tires to lock. WARNING! Do not descend a steep grade in NEUTRAL. Use vehicle brakes in conjunction with engine braking. Descending a grade too fast could cause you to lose control and be seriously injured or killed. Driving Across An Incline If at all possible avoid driving across an incline.

Never run the engine in a closed area, such as a garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for an extended period.
STARTING AND OPERATING 431 After removing the gas cap, place the gas cap tether cable over a hook on the inside of the fuel door. This keeps the gas cap suspended away from and protects the vehicle’s surface. Fuel Filler Cap CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler cap. A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. • A poorly fitting fuel filler cap may cause the “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” to turn on.
432 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank is being filled. • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regulations and may cause the MIL to turn on. • A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling.
STARTING AND OPERATING 433 VEHICLE LOADING The bar code allows a computer scanner to read the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). As required by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regulations, your vehicle has a certification label Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) affixed to the driver’s side door or B-Pillar. The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver, passengers, and cargo.
434 STARTING AND OPERATING The best way to figure out the total weight of your vehicle is to weigh it when it is fully loaded and ready for This is the cold tire inflation pressure for your vehicle for operation. Weigh it on a commercial scale to ensure that all loading conditions up to full GAWR. it is not over the GVWR. Curb Weight Overloading can cause potential safety hazards and The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total weight shorten useful service life.
STARTING AND OPERATING 435 CAUTION! Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can break, or it can change the way your vehicle handles. This could cause you to lose control. Also, overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle. Common Towing Definitions The following trailer towing related definitions will assist you in understanding the following information: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle.
436 STARTING AND OPERATING The recommended way to measure GTW is to put your fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale. The entire weight of the trailer must be supported by the scale. 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.
STARTING AND OPERATING 437 Trailer Sway Control The trailer sway control is a 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. 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.
438 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! (Continued) • Weight Distributing 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. Trailer Hitch Classification The following chart provides the industry standard for the maximum trailer weight a given trailer hitch class can tow and should be used to assist you in selecting the correct trailer hitch for your intended towing condition.
