The driver can lose control when pulling a trailer if
the correct equipment is not used or the vehicle is

seriously injured. The vehicle may also be
damaged; the resulting repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Pull a trailer only
if all the steps in this section have been followed.
Ask your dealer/retailer for advice and information
about towing a trailer with the vehicle.

Notice: Pulling a trailer improperly can damage the
