Towing a Trailer

CAUTION:

If you don’t use the correct equipment and drive 
properly, you can lose control when you pull a trailer. 
For example, if the trailer is too heavy, the brakes 
may not work well 

--

 or even at all. You and your 

passengers could be seriously injured. Pull a trailer 
only if you have followed all the steps in this section. 
Ask your dealer for advice and information about 
towing a trailer with your vehicle.

NOTICE:

Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your
vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by
your warranty. To pull a trailer correctly, follow
the advice in this part, and see your dealer for
important information about towing a trailer
with your vehicle.

Your vehicle can tow a trailer. To identify what the
vehicle trailering capacity is for your vehicle, you
should read the information in “Weight of the Trailer”
that appears later in this section. But trailering is
different than just driving your vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in handling, durability and
fuel economy. Successful, safe trailering takes correct
equipment, and it has to be used properly.

That’s the reason for this section. In it are many
time

-

tested, important trailering tips and safety rules.

Many of these are important for your safety and that 
of your passengers. So please read this section carefully
before you pull a trailer.
