Trailer or Vehicle Towing Tips
1. Before towing, check hitch and
safety chain connections as well as
proper operation of the trailer run-
ning lights, brake lights, and turn
signals.
2. Always drive your vehicle at a mod-
erate speed (Less than 100 km/h)
3. Trailer towing requires more fuel
than normal conditions.
4. To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and electrical charging per-
formance, do not use fifth gear
(manual transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to
prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tires on the trailer and
your car. Low tire pressure can
seriously affect the handling. Also
check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is
more affected by crosswind and
buffeting.
When being passed by a large ve-
hicle, keep a constant speed and
steer straight ahead. If there is too
much wind buffeting slow down to
