Towing Requirements — Tires



Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a

compact spare tire.



Proper tire inflation pressures are essential

to the safe and satisfactory operation of your

vehicle

page 296.



Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation

pressures before trailer usage.



Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire

damage before towing a trailer

page 296.



For the proper tire replacement procedures

page 296. Replacing tires with a higher

load carrying capacity will not increase the

vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limits.

Towing Requirements — Trailer Brakes



Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake

system or vacuum system of your vehicle

with that of the trailer. This could cause inad

equate braking and possible personal injury.



An electronically actuated trailer brake

controller is required when towing a trailer

with electronically actuated brakes. When

towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic

surge actuated brake system, an electronic

brake controller is not required.



Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers

over 1,000 lbs (453 kg) and required for

trailers in excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg).

CAUTION!



Do not tow a trailer at all during the first

500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is

driven. The engine, axle or other parts could

be damaged.



Then, during the first 500 miles (805 km)

that a trailer is towed, do not drive over

50 mph (80 km/h) and do not make starts

at full throttle. This helps the engine and

other parts of the vehicle wear in at the

heavier loads.

WARNING!



Do not connect trailer brakes to your

vehicle's hydraulic brake lines. It can over

load your brake system and cause it to fail.

You might not have brakes when you need

them and could have a collision.



Towing any trailer will increase your stop

ping distance. When towing you should

allow for additional space between your

vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.

Failure to do so could result in a collision.

CAUTION!

If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs

(453 kg) loaded, it should have its own

brakes and they should be of adequate

capacity. Failure to do this could lead to accel

erated brake lining wear, higher brake pedal

effort, and longer stopping distances.
