Notes: For high altitude operation, reduce GCW by 2% per 1000 ft.

(300 meters) elevation. For definitions of terms and instructions on

calculating your vehicle’s load, refer to Vehicle loading in this chapter.

Maximum trailer weights shown. The combined weight of the

completed towing vehicle and the loaded trailer must not exceed the

GCWR.

Your Hybrid vehicle is capable of pulling the maximum trailer weight(s)

as specified above. Certain states require electric trailer brakes for

trailers over a specified weight. Your Hybrid vehicle electrical system is

not equipped to accommodate electric trailer brakes.

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, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of vehicle

control, vehicle rollover 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 authorized 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

10–15% of the total weight of the trailer is on the tongue.
