Maintenance When Trailer Towing

Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re
pulling a trailer. See the Maintenance Schedule for
more on this. Things that are especially important in
trailer operation are automatic transmission fluid
(don’t overfill), engine oil, axle lubricant, belt(s), cooling
system and brake system. Each of these is covered
in this manual, and the Index will help you find
them quickly. If you’re trailering, it’s a good idea to
review these sections before you start your trip.

Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and
bolts are tight.
