OPERATION
Towing Loads
Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of
control or brake instability. Always follow these precautions when tow-
ing:
1. Never load more than 150 lbs. (68.1 kg) tongue weight on the tow-
ing bracket.
2. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 km/h) when tow-
ing. See page 40. Towing a trailer increases braking distance.
3. Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle. See
the towing capacity chart below and the specifications charts begin-
ning on page 98.
4. Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch bracket only. Do not attach a
trailer to any other location or you may lose control of the vehicle.
5. Never tow a trailer on a grade steeper than 15°.
Belt Life
To extend belt life, use the lowest gear possible when hauling or towing
heavy cargo.
