Jeep Wrangler: TRAILER TOWING / Trailer And Tongue Weight
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight
stamped on your bumper or trailer hitch.

Weight Distribution
Consider the following items when computing
the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:
- The tongue weight of the trailer.
- The weight of any other type of cargo or
equipment put in or on your vehicle.
- The weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE:
Remember that everything put into or on the
trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also,
additional factory-installed options or
dealer-installed options must be considered as
part of the total load on your vehicle. Refer to
the “Tire And Loading Information” placard for
the maximum combined weight of occupants
and cargo for your vehicle.
NOTE:
The trailer tongue weight must be considered as
part of the combined weight of occupants and
cargo (i.e., the GVWR), and the GVWR should
never exceed the weight referenced on the Tire
and Loading Information placard...
To promote proper break-in of your new vehicle
drivetrain components, the following guidelines
are recommended:
WARNING!
Improper towing can lead to a collision...
Other information:
Children who are large enough to wear the
shoulder belt comfortably, and whose legs are
long enough to bend over the front of the seat
when their back is against the seatback, should
use the seat belt in a rear seat. Use this simple
5-step test to decide whether the child can use
the vehicle’s seat belt alone:
Can the child sit all the way back against
the back of the vehicle seat?
Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over
the front of the vehicle seat – while the child
is still sitting all the way back?
Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s
shoulder between the neck and arm?
Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible,
touching the child’s thighs and not the
stomach?
Can the child stay seated like this for the
whole trip?
If the answer to any of these questions was
“no”, then the child still needs to use a booster
seat in this vehicle...
You must press and hold the brake pedal while
shifting out of PARK.
CAUTION!
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only
after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop.
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed...
