. Do not tow a trailer at all during
the first 800 km (500 miles) the
new vehicle is driven. The
engine, axle, or other parts
could be damaged.
. During the first 800 km
(500 miles) that a trailer is
towed, do not drive over 80 km/h
(50 mph) and do not make starts
at full throttle. This helps the
engine and other parts of the
vehicle wear in at the heavier
loads.
. 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.
Important considerations that have
to do with weight:
. Weight of the trailer
. Weight of the trailer tongue
. Weight on the vehicle's tires
. Weight of the trailering
combination
Driving with a Trailer
{
WARNING
When towing a trailer, exhaust
gases may collect at the rear of
the vehicle and enter if the
liftgate, trunk/hatch, or rear-most
window is open.
Engine exhaust contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which cannot be
seen or smelled. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
To maximize safety when towing
a trailer:
. Have the exhaust system
inspected for leaks and make
necessary repairs before
starting a trip.
. Never drive with the liftgate,
trunk/hatch, or rear-most
window open.

WARNING (Continued)
. Fully open the air outlets on
or under the instrument
panel.
. Adjust the Climate Control
system to a setting that
brings in only outside air
and set the fan speed to the
highest setting. See Climate
Control System in the Index.
For more information about
Carbon Monoxide, see
Engine
Exhaust on page 9 ‑ 40 .
Towing a trailer requires a
certain amount of experience.
The combination you are driving is
longer and not as responsive as the
vehicle itself. Get acquainted with
the handling and braking of the rig
before setting out for the open road.
