Driving Characteristics
and Towing Tips

{

WARNING

The driver can lose control when
pulling a trailer if the correct
equipment is not used or the
vehicle is not driven properly.

WARNING (Continued)

For example, if the trailer is too
heavy, the brakes may not work
well

or even at all. The driver

and passengers could be
seriously injured. The vehicle may
also be damaged; the resulting
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Pull a trailer
only if all the steps in this section
have been followed. Ask your
dealer/retailer for advice and
information about towing a trailer
with the vehicle.

The vehicle can tow a trailer when
equipped with the proper trailer
towing equipment. For trailering
capacity, see

Trailer Towing on

Trailering changes

handling, acceleration, braking,
durability and fuel economy. With
the added weight, the engine,
transmission, wheel assemblies and
tires are forced to work harder and
under greater loads. The trailer also
adds wind resistance, increasing the
pulling requirements. For safe
trailering, correctly use the proper
trailering equipment.

The following information has
important trailering tips and rules
for your safety and that of your
passengers. Read this section
carefully before pulling a trailer.
