Maintenance When Trailer
Towing

The vehicle needs service more
often when pulling a trailer. See the

Maintenance Schedule on
page 11-2

Things that are

especially important in trailer
operation are automatic
transmission fluid, engine oil, axle
lubricant, belts, cooling system and
brake system. Inspect these before
and during the 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 10-19

.

Trailer Towing (2.0L
Engine)

The vehicle is neither designed nor
intended to tow a trailer.

Trailer Towing (Except
2.0L Engine)

Before pulling a trailer, three
important considerations have to do
with weight:

.

Weight of the trailer.

.

Weight of the trailer tongue.

.

Total weight on your vehicle's
tires.

Weight of the Trailer

How heavy can a trailer safely be?

It should never weigh more than
454 kg (1,000 lb). But even that can
be too heavy.

It depends on how the rig is used.
For example, speed, altitude, road
grades, outside temperature, and
how much the vehicle is used to pull
