Driving while you tow

When towing a trailer:

• To ensure proper “break-in” of powertrain components, do not trailer

tow during the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of a new vehicle.

• To ensure proper “break-in” of powertrain components during the first

500 miles (800 km) of trailer towing, drive no faster than 70 mph

(113 km/h) with no 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 automatic transmission shifting, use a lower

gear. This will also assist in transmission cooling. For additional

information, refer to Automatic transmission operation 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.
