Then, during the first 800 km

(500 miles) that a trailer is

towed, do not drive over 80 km/h

(50 mph) and do not make starts

at full throttle. This helps the

engine and other parts of the

vehicle wear in at the heavier

loads.

.

Vehicles can tow in D (Drive).

Shift the transmission to a lower

gear if the transmission shifts

too often under heavy loads and/

or hilly conditions.

Important considerations that have

to do with weight:

.

The weight of the trailer

.

The weight of the trailer tongue

.

The weight on the vehicle's tires

.

And the weight of the trailering

combination

Driving with a Trailer

{

WARNING

When towing a trailer, exhaust

gases may collect at the rear of

the vehicle and enter if the

liftgate, trunk/hatch, or rear-most

window is open.

Engine exhaust contains Carbon

Monoxide (CO) which cannot be

seen or smelled. It can cause

unconsciousness and even death.

To maximize safety when towing

a trailer:

.

Have the exhaust system

inspected for leaks and make

necessary repairs before

starting a trip.

.

Never drive with the liftgate,

trunk/hatch, or rear-most

window open.

(Continued)

WARNING (Continue d)

.

Fully open the air outlets on

or under the instrument

panel.

.

Adjust the Climate Control

system to a setting that

brings in only outside air and

set the fan speed to the

highest setting. See Climate

Control System in the Index.

For more information about

Carbon Monoxide, see Engine

Exhaust on page 9‑37.

Towing a trailer requires a certain

amount of experience. The

combination you are driving is

longer and not as responsive as the

vehicle itself. Get acquainted with

the handling and braking of the rig

before setting out for the open road.
