Driving with a Trailer

{CAUTION:

If you have the liftgate open and you pull

a trailer with your vehicle, carbon

monoxide (CO) could come into your

vehicle. You cannot see or smell CO. It can

cause unconsciousness or death. See

Engine Exhaust on page 127. To maximize

your safety when towing a trailer:

• Have your exhaust system inspected

for leaks, and make necessary repairs

before starting on your trip.

• Keep the liftgate closed.

• If exhaust does come into your vehicle

through a window in the rear or another

opening, drive with your front, main

heating or cooling system on and with

the fan on any speed. This will bring

fresh, outside air into your vehicle.

CAUTION: (Continued)

Do not use the climate control setting for

maximum air because it only recirculates

the air inside your vehicle. See Climate

Control System on page 165.

Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of

experience. Before setting out for the open road,

you will want to get to know your rig. Acquaint

yourself with the feel of handling and braking with

the added weight of the trailer. And always keep in

mind that the vehicle you are driving is now a good

deal longer and not nearly as responsive as your

vehicle is by itself.

Before you start, check all trailer hitch parts and

attachments, safety chains, electrical connector,

lamps, tires and mirror adjustment. If the trailer has

electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving

and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand

to be sure the brakes are working. This lets you

check your electrical connection at the same time.

During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that

the load is secure, and that the lamps and any

trailer brakes are still working.
