The above chart is based on the specified vehicle at a maximum GCW

(Vehicle weight + Trailer weight) equal to 2 470 kg (5 450 lbs.).

Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the

certification label.

Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer

weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in

engine damage, transaxle damage, structural damage, loss of control,

and personal injury.

Preparing to tow

Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer, and make sure it is

properly attached to your vehicle. See your dealer or a reliable trailer

dealer if you require assistance.

Hitches

Do not use hitches that clamp onto the vehicle bumper. Use a load

carrying hitch. You must distribute the load in your trailer so that 10% of

the total weight of the trailer is on the tongue.

Safety chains

Always connect the trailer’s safety chains to the frame or hook retainers

of the vehicle hitch. To connect the trailer’s safety chains, cross the

chains under the trailer tongue and allow slack for turning corners.
