Maintenance When Trailer Towing

The vehicle will need service more often when it
pulls a trailer. See

Scheduled Maintenance

on page 462

for more information. Things that are

especially important in trailer operation are
automatic transaxle fluid; which should not be
overfilled; engine oil, drive belt(s), and cooling and
brake systems. Each of these is covered in this
manual, and the Index will help you find them
quickly. If trailering, it is a good idea to review this
information before starting on a trip.

Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and
bolts are tight.

Engine Cooling When Trailer Towing

The cooling system may temporarily overheat
during severe operating conditions. See

Engine

Overheating on page 367
