TOWING WITH THE VEHICLE

WARNING
• Never tow a vehicle or trailer on public streets or highways.
• Normal vehicle operating speed should be reduced when towing.
• Extreme caution should be used when towing.
• Do not allow riders in the vehicle or trailer being towed.
• Total vehicle capacity, including the vehicle load rating and the gross weight of the vehicle or
trailer being towed, should not exceed the weight previously specified.
• Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts, or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause vehicle to
overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
Towing another vehicle or a trailer can have adverse effects on vehicle handling, be especially cautious when
towing other equipment with a vehicle. See the preceding chart for vehicle capacities.
Parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill should be avoided. If you must park on a hill, apply brakes and have
someone chock tires of trailer. Brakes should be released to allow chocks to absorb load of trailer. After tires
have been chocked, engage park brake.
