Driving Characteristics
and Towing Tips
Pulling a Trailer
Here are some important points:
.
There are many different laws,
including speed limit restrictions,
having to do with trailering.
Make sure the rig will be legal,
not only where you live but also
where you will be driving.
A good source for this
information can be state or
provincial police.
.
Consider using a sway control.
See
“
Hitches
”
in
.
Do not tow a trailer at all during
the first 800 km (500 mi) the new
vehicle is driven. The engine,
axle, or other parts could be
damaged.
.
Then, during the first 800 km
(500 mi) 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.
.
If the vehicle has the Side Blind
Zone Alert (SBZA) system and it
doesn't seem to be working
properly while pulling a trailer,
turn the system off. See
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) on
page 9
for more information.
Important considerations that have
to do with weight:
.
The weight of the trailer.
.
The weight of the trailer tongue.
.
The weight on the vehicle's tires.
.
The 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.
