ROCKING THE VEHICLE
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to free
it from snow, sand or mud, move the se-
lector lever on an automatic transmission
models from "D" to "R" in a repeat pattern
while depressing the accelerator gently.
(On manual transmission models, move the
gearshift lever from first to reverse gear).
Do not race the engine. If you are still stuck
after a minute or two of rocking, have the
vehicle pulled out to avoid overheating and
possible damage to the transmission.
WARNING
If you let your tires spin at high
speed, they can explode, and you or
others could be injured. And, the
driveline components could be dam-
aged.
TRAILER TOWING
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a pas-
senger vehicle therefore handling, braking,
durability and economy will be affected by
towing a trailer.
Your safety and satisfaction depend upon
proper use of correct equipment. Also, you
should avoid overloading and other abu-
sive use.
The maximum loaded trailer weight you can
pull with your vehicle depends on your in-
tended use and what special equipment
has been installed on it. Before attempting
any towing, ensure that the correct equip-
ment is fitted to your vehicle.
Your Daewoo Dealer will help supply and in-
stall towing equipment to suit your require-
ment.
Trailer Loading
To load your trailer properly, you must know
how to measure gross trailer weight and
trailer tongue weight. Gross trailer weight is
the weight of the trailer plus all cargo in it.
You can measure gross trailer weight by
putting the fully loaded trailer on a vehicle
scale.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 6–9
Trailer tongue weight is the downward force
exerted on the hitch by the trailer coupler,
with the trailer fully loaded and the coupler
at its normal towing height. This weight can
be measured using a bathroom scale.
The weight of your loaded trailer (gross
trailer weight) should never exceed the
specified values.
The maximum permissible trailer tongue
weight is 50kg.
The permissible trailer loads are valid for
gradients up to 12%.
When the trailer has been coupled, the per-
missible rear axle load for the fully loaded
towing vehicle (including occupants) must
not be exceeded.
WARNING
Total gross vehicle weight with
trailer must not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating(GVWR) of the
vehicle.
The total gross vehicle weight is the
weight of the vehicle, driver, passen-
gers, luggage or cargo, plus the
weight of the hitch and the trailer
tongue weight.
