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

Understanding the positions of the 6–speed automatic

transmission section in this chapter.

• Anticipate stops and brake gradually.

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

Servicing after towing

If you tow a trailer for long distances, your vehicle will require more

frequent service intervals. Refer to your Scheduled Maintenance Guide

for more information.

Trailer towing tips

• Practice turning, stopping and backing up before starting on a trip to

get the feel of the vehicle trailer combination. When turning, make

wider turns so the trailer wheels will clear curbs and other obstacles.
