Driving Characteristics
and Towing Tips

Driving with a Trailer

When towing a trailer:

.

Become familiar with the state
and local laws that apply
specifically to trailer towing.

.

Do not tow a trailer during the
first 800 km (500 mi), to prevent
damage to the engine, axle,
or other parts.

.

Then, during the first 800 km
(500 mi) of trailer towing, do not
drive over 80 km/h (50 mph) and
do not make starts at full throttle.

.

The vehicle can tow in D (Drive)
but M (Manual Mode) is
recommended. See

Manual

Mode

Use a lower gear if

the transmission shifts too often.

.

Turn off Park Assist when
towing.

Warning

When towing a trailer, exhaust
gases may collect at the rear of
the vehicle and enter if the
liftgate, trunk/hatch, or rear-most
window is open.

Warning (Continued)

When towing a trailer:

.

Do not drive with the
liftgate, trunk/hatch,
or rear-most window open.

.

Fully open the air outlets on
or under the instrument
panel.

.

Also adjust the climate
control system to a setting
that brings in only outside
air. See

Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. The
combination you are driving is
longer and not as responsive as the
vehicle itself. Get acquainted with
the handling and braking of the rig
before setting out for the open road.
