Driving while you tow

When towing a trailer:

•

Keep your speed no faster than 70 mph (112 km/h) during the first 500

miles (800 km) of towing a trailer, and don’t make full throttle starts.

•

Turn off the speed control. The speed control may shut off

automatically when you are towing on long, steep grades.

•

Consult your local motor vehicle speed regulations for towing a trailer.

•

To eliminate excessive shifting, use a lower gear. This will also assist

in transmission cooling. (For additional information, refer to the

Driving with a 5–speed automatic transmission

section in the

Driving

chapter.)

•

Under extreme conditions with large frontal trailers, high outside

temperatures and highway speeds, the coolant gauge may indicate

higher than normal coolant temperatures. If this occurs, reduce speed

until the coolant temperature returns to the normal range. Refer to

Engine coolant temperature gauge

in the

Instrument Cluster

chapter.

•

Anticipate stops and brake gradually.

•

Do not exceed the GCWR rating or transmission damage may occur.
