Winching Limitations

The following could impact winch operation:

Temperatures below 32 °F (0 °C).
Low battery charge.
Winching without the engine running or for sustained pulls of a minute or more.Try winching using shorter pulls with breaks, both to check setup and to allow the vehicle's battery to recharge.
Exceeding the winch or winch rope rating.

You may see messages on your instrument cluster if the system voltage drops below a set threshold, specifically if battery health is poor, winching occurs in freezing temperatures, and/or a continuous winching cycle. These messages go away once vehicle system voltage returns to normal.
