Driving Characteristics
and Towing Tips
{
WARNING
The driver can lose control when
pulling a trailer if the correct
equipment is not used or the
vehicle is not driven properly.
For example, if the trailer is too
heavy, the brakes may not work
well — or even at all. The driver
and passengers could be
seriously injured. The vehicle
may also be damaged; the
resulting repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.

WARNING (Continued)
Pull a trailer only if all the steps in
this section have been followed.
Ask your dealer for advice and
information about towing a trailer
with the vehicle.
Notice: Pulling a trailer
improperly can damage the
vehicle and result in costly
repairs not covered by the
vehicle warranty. To pull a trailer
correctly, follow the advice in this
section and see your dealer for
important information about
towing a trailer with the vehicle.
The vehicle can tow a trailer when it
is equipped with the proper trailer
towing equipment. For trailering
capacity, see Trailer Towing on
page 9‑74. Trailering changes
handling, acceleration, braking,
durability and fuel economy.
