tongue load of 45 kg (100 lbs.). Do not tow a trailer

until your vehicle has been driven at least 800 km

(500 miles).

Towing a trailer places an additional load on your

vehicle’s engine, transaxle, brakes, tires and

suspension. Inspect these components carefully after

towing.

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.

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.

If you use a rental trailer, follow the instructions that

the rental agency gives to you.

Do not attach safety chains to the bumper.

Trailer brakes

Electric brakes and manual, automatic or surge-type

trailer brakes are safe if installed properly and

adjusted to the manufacturer’s specifications. The

trailer brakes must meet local and Federal

regulations.
