CAUTION
The components of your
vehicle are designed to provide
satisfactory service if the vehicle
is not loaded in excess of the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
Overloading can result in loss of
vehicle control and personal
injury. It can also shorten the
service life of your vehicle.
■
TRAILER TOWING
Your vehicle is designed primarily
as a passenger vehicle, therefore
handling, braking, durability and
fuel economy will be affected by
towing a trailer.
CAUTION
If you don't use the correct
equipment and drive properly,
you could lose control when
you pull a trailer behind your
vehicle. You could have a seri-
ous accident.
For example, if the trailer is too
heavy, the brakes may not work
well, or they may not even work
at all.
You and your passengers could
be seriously injured.
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 section.
If you think you want to pull a
trailer, see your dealer for infor-
mation on your vehicle's trailer
towing ability.

Section 3
CAUTION
If you have a rear-most window
open and you pull a trailer with
your vehicle, carbon monoxide
(CO) could come into your
vehicle. You can't see or
smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
To maximize your safety when
towing a trailer:
• Have your exhaust system
inspected for leaks, and make
necessary repairs before
starting on your trip.
• Make sure that no window,
door, trunk at the rear of the
vehicle is open if you are
pulling a trailer.
CAUTION
If exhaust does come into your
vehicle through a window in
the rear or another opening,
drive with your front, main
heating or cooling system on
with the fan on any speed and
using any setting that brings in
outside air. This will bring fresh
air into your vehicle. See "Heat-
ing and Air Conditioning
System" in Section 1.
The maximum loaded trailer
weight you can pull with your
vehicle depends on your intended
use and what special equipment
has been installed on the vehicle.
Information on trailer towing
ability, special equipment
required, and optional equipment
available should be obtained from
your dealer.
Installation of towing equipment
should be carried out only by your
dealer. Your dealer has the proper
installation specifications and is
aware of any necessary vehicle
modifications.
CAUTION
If you don't use the correct
equipment and drive properly,
you could lose control when
you pull a trailer behind your
vehicle. You could have a
serious accident.
