
Important points regarding stability
Vehicle movement resulting from uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Frequently check behind when mov-
ing alongside such vehicles. As soon as such vehicle movement
occurs, immediately start to decelerate smoothly by slowly applying
the brakes. Always steer the vehicle straight ahead while braking.

Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is sufficient before exe-
cuting lane changes.

Transmission information
Refrain from driving in the 6th gear (6-speed manual transmission)
or 5th gear (5-speed manual transmission), 5 range in S mode
(multi-mode type automatic transmission) or D (standard type auto-
matic transmission) to maintain the effectiveness of the engine
brake and the charge performance of electrical components.

If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long, steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30

C (85

F) may result in the engine overheating. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that the engine is over-
heating, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the road and
stop the vehicle in a safe place. (


When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle
and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P
for automatic transmissions, and 1 or R for manual transmissions.
