• After you have traveled 80 km (50 miles), thoroughly check your

hitch, electrical connections and trailer wheel lug nuts.

• When stopped in traffic for long periods of time in hot weather, place

the gearshift in P (Park) (automatic transmissions) or N (Neutral)

(manual transmissions). This aids engine cooling and air conditioner

efficiency.

• Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade. If you must

park on a grade, place wheel chocks under the trailer’s wheels.

Launching or retrieving a boat

When backing down a ramp during boat launching or retrieval,

• Do not allow the static water level to rise above the bottom edge of

the rear bumper and

• Do not allow waves to break higher than 15 cm (6 inches) above the

bottom edge of the rear bumper.

Exceeding these limits may allow water to enter critical vehicle

components, adversely affecting driveability, emissions, reliability and

causing internal transmission damage.

Replace the rear axle lubricant anytime the axle has been submerged in

water. Rear axle lubricant quantities are not to be checked or changed

unless a leak is suspected or repair required.

Disconnect the wiring to the trailer before backing the trailer into the

water. Reconnect the wiring to the trailer after the trailer is removed

from the water.

Recreational towing (all wheels on the ground)

Follow these guidelines for your specific powertrain combination to tow

your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground (such as behind a

recreational vehicle).

These guidelines are designed to ensure that your transmission is not

damaged due to insufficient lubrication.
