Driving with a Trailer
When towing a trailer:
.
Become familiar with the state
and local laws that apply to trailer
towing.
.
The trailer must be equipped with
brakes adequate for the intended
use. A loaded trailer weighing
more than 900 kg (2,000 lb) must
be equipped with its own brake
system, with brakes working on all
axles. Trailer braking equipment
conforming to Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) requirement
CAN3-D313, or its equivalent, is
recommended.
.
Do not tow a trailer during the
first 800 km (500 mi) to prevent
damage to the engine, axle,
or other parts.
.
Then during the first 800 km
(500 mi) of trailer towing, do not
drive over 80 km/h (50 mph) and
do not make starts at full throttle.
.
Vehicles can tow in D (Drive).
Shift the transmission to a lower
gear if the transmission shifts too
often under heavy loads and/or
hilly conditions.
.
Do not use Adaptive Cruise
Control when towing.
.
Turn off Parking Assist when
towing.
