Towing Guidelines
Before towing, ensure your vehicle is equipped with the proper optional equipment and consider the approximate weight of the trailer, including additional cargo and fluids.
Frontal area considerations are crucial, as exceeding limitations may reduce towing performance.
Safe Towing Practices
Always use safety chains, and ensure the trailer is equipped with lights that conform to government regulations.
Properly distribute the load, keeping the center of gravity low, and balance the load from side to side.
Driving with a Trailer
Turn off cruise control with heavy loads or in hilly terrain, and use caution on wet roads.
Check tire pressure regularly, and use a conventional, identical full-size spare tire for trailer towing.
Additional Tips
Practice turning, stopping, and backing up your trailer in a safe area before a trip.
When turning, swing wide to avoid curbs and obstructions, and allow extra distance for stopping with a trailer attached.
