as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly,
or if there is a crash, they’ll keep going.

Things you put inside your vehicle can strike 
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn,

your vehicle.

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. You may also damage your vehicle; the
resulting repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. 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.
