BEFORE DRIVING

Vehicle/trailer loading
The weight of your loaded trailer (gross
trailer weight) should never exceed the
towing capacity.
Distribute cargo in your trailer so that the
nose weight is about 10% of gross trailer
weight, but does not exceed “Maximum
vertical load” of 75 kg (165 lbs), and does
not fall below 25 kg (55 lbs) or 4%, which-
ever is heavier, on trailer hitch point. You
should measure gross trailer weight and
nose weight before towing to check that
your load is properly distributed.
NOTE:
Only in the case of towing a trailer, GVW
can be exceeded by not more than 40 kg
(88 lbs), if road traffic legislation allows it.
Additional trailer towing warnings
WARNING
Improper weight distribution of your
trailer may result in poor vehicle han-
dling and swaying of the trailer.
Always check that the trailer nose
weight is about 10% of gross trailer
weight, but does not exceed “Maxi-
mum vertical load” of 75 kg (165 lbs),
and does not fall below 25 kg (55 lbs)
or 4%, whichever is heavier, on trailer
hitch point. Also check that the cargo
is properly secured. Failure to
observe this requirement may result
in an accident.
WARNING
• Never overload cargo on your
trailer and your vehicle. Gross
trailer weight must never exceed
towing capacity. Gross vehicle
weight (sum of the weights of the
vehicle, all the occupants, accesso-
ries including tow bars and a trailer
hitch, cargo and trailer nose
weight) must never exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) listed in “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section, except as
described in NOTE below.
• It is dangerous and may be illegal
to transport people in a trailer.
WARNING
Connect trailer lights and hook up
safety chains every time you tow.
NOTICE
• Because towing a trailer puts addi-
tional stress on your vehicle, more
frequent maintenance will be
required than under normal driving
conditions. Follow the schedule in
“Maintenance recommended under
severe driving conditions”.
• The additional load will affect fuel
consumption, durability and perfor-
mance of the vehicle as well.
