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. 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 for advice and information
about towing a trailer with the
vehicle.

The vehicle can tow a trailer if it is
equipped with the proper trailer
towing equipment. To identify the

trailering capacity of the vehicle, see

Trailer Towing (2.0L Engine) on
page 9

or

Trailer Towing (Except

2.0L Engine) on page 9

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.

and local laws that apply to
