Do not exceed the maximum loads listed on the Safety Compliance
Certification label. For load specification terms found on the label, refer
to

Vehicle loading

in this chapter. Remember to figure in the tongue

load of your loaded trailer when figuring the total weight.

Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer
weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in

engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of control
and personal injury.

Preparing to tow

Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is
properly attached to your vehicle. See your dealer or a reliable trailer
dealer if you require assistance.

Hitches

Do not use hitches that clamp onto the vehicle bumper. Use a load
carrying hitch that does not exceed your vehicle’s capability. See the

Tongue Load

section in the trailer towing chart earlier in this section for

range details on a specific trailer load.
