High-altitude operation
CAUTION
Be aware of the towing load weight diff erences when towing at high altitudes. For altitudes
exceeding 1,000 meter (3,280 ft 10 in), always reduce the towing load by 10 % for every
1,000 meter (3,280 ft 10 in) increase in altitude from the load indicated under the maximum
GCWR heading in the trailer towing-load table. If the determined maximum total towing
load weight is exceeded, the engine and other power-train parts may be damaged.
