Always maintain a slow speed when
trailering and towing and avoid sudden
acceleration, quick maneuvers, and sud-
den stops. Braking distance will be
affected when towing a trailer. When
towing a trailer, always maintain slow
speed and allow more stopping distance
than when not towing a trailer.
Transporting
When transporting, the vehicle must be in
its normal operating position (on all four
wheels) and the following procedure must
be used:
1. Place the transmission in park.
2. Secure the vehicle with load rated
hold-down straps.


NOTE: Suitable hold-down straps
are available from your authorized
dealer. Ordinary rope is not recom-
mended because it can stretch
under load.

Filling Fuel Tank
Since fuel expands as its temperature
increases, the fuel tank must be filled to
its rated capacity only. Expansion room
must be maintained in the tank particu-
larly if the tank is filled with cold fuel
and then moved to a warm area.
Allow the engine to cool before filling the
fuel tank. Care must be taken not to over-
fill the tank. If overfilled, fuel may leak
onto the engine creating a fire hazard.
! WARNING
Operating this vehicle without extra
caution when towing a trailer will be
hazardous. Trailer towing can affect
the handling and braking of the vehi-
cle. Tow only at low speeds and never
exceed 10 mph. Avoid sudden accel-
eration and stopping of the vehicle.
Do not make quick maneuvers. Avoid
uneven surfaces and do not tow on
hills.
! WARNING
Never tow people in or on any device
except when towing a disabled vehi-
cle with operable brakes and steering
or on a trailer designed for passen-
gers that has a rigid tow bar.
CAUTION
Failure to place the transmission in
park could allow the vehicle to roll off
the trailer in the event of tie-down
strap failure.
CAUTION
If using additional hold-down straps
in any other areas, care must be
taken not to damage the vehicle.
! WARNING
Never secure a strap across the floor-
board of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Always latch the doors when trans-
porting to prevent damage to the
doors and body panels.
! WARNING
Always fill the fuel tank in a well-venti-
lated area. Never add fuel to the fuel
tank near any open flames or with the
engine running or hot. DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the fuel tank.
