Don’t tow a trailer at all during the first
500
miles
(800
km) your new
vehicle is driven. Your engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.
Then, during the first
500
miles
(800
km) that you tow a trailer, don’t
drive over
50
mph
(80
kdh) and don’t make starts at full throttle. This
helps your engine and other parts of your vehicle wear in
at
the heavier
loads,
If you have an automatic transmission, you should use
DRIVE
(D) (or,
as you need to, a lower gear) when towing
a
trailer. Operating your
vehicle in DRIVE (D) when towing a trailer will minimize heat
build-up and extend the life
of
your transmission. If you have a manual
transmission and you are towing a trailer, it’s better not to use FIFTH
(5)
gear. Just drive in FOURTH
(4)
gear (or, as you need to, a lower
gear).
Three
important considerations have to do with weight:
Weight
of
the Traikr
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For example, speed, altitude,
road grades, outside temperature and how much your vehicle is used to pull
a trailer are all important. And, it can also depend on any special equipment
that you have on your vehicle.
You can ask your dealer for our trailering information or advice, or you can
write

at the address listed in your Warranty and Owner Assistance
Information booklet.

Weight
of
the Trailer Tongue
The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important weight to measure
because it affects the total or gross weight of your vehicle. The gross vehicle
weight (GVW) includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo you may
carry
in it, and
the
people who will be riding in the vehicle. And if you
will
tow a trailer,
you
must add the tongue load to
the
GVW because your
vehicle will be carrying that weight, too. See “Loading Your Vehicle”
in
the
Index for more information about your vehicle’s maximum load capacity.
