ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS

Follow these guidelines for safe towing:

• Do not tow a trailer until you drive your vehicle at least 1000 miles

(1600 kilometers).

• Consult your local motor vehicle laws for towing a trailer.

• See the instructions included with towing accessories for the proper

installation and adjustment specifications.

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

scheduled maintenance information.

• If you use a rental trailer, follow the instructions the rental agency

gives you.

For load specification terms found on the tire label and Safety
Compliance label and for instructions on calculating your vehicle’s load,
refer to Load limit in the Load Carrying chapter.

Remember to account for the trailer tongue weight as part of your
vehicle load when calculating the total vehicle weight.
