ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS

Follow these guidelines to ensure safe towing:
• Do not tow a trailer until your vehicle has been driven at least

1000 miles (1600 kilometers).

• Consult your local motor vehicle laws for towing a trailer.
• Refer to the instructions included with towing accessories for the

proper installation and adjustment specifications.

• Service your vehicle more frequently if you tow a trailer. Refer to your

scheduled maintenance information.

For load specification terms found on the label and instructions on
calculating your vehicle’s load, refer to the Load Carrying chapter.
Remember to account for the trailer tongue weight as part of the vehicle
load when calculating the total vehicle weight.
