Driving your vehicle
Maintenance when trailer towing
Your vehicle will need service more often
If you do decide to pull a trailer
Here  are  some important  points  if  you
decide to pull a trailer:
• State, provincial,  county and municipal
government   have   varying   trailering
laws.  Make  sure  your  hitch,  mirrors,
lights  and   wiring   arrangements  are
legal, not only where  you live, but also
where you’ll be driving. A  good source
for this information is provincial or local
law enforcement agencies.
CAUTION
Due to  higher  load during  trailer
usage,  overheating  might  occur
in hot  days or  during uphill driv-
ing. If the coolant gauge indicates
over-heating,  switch  off  the  A/C
and stop the vehicle in a safe area
to cool down the engine.
When   towing   check   transaxle
fluid more frequently.
•  If  your  vehicle   is  not  equipped
with   the    air   conditioner,   you
should install a  condenser fan to
when
you    regularly    pull   a    trailer.
Important  items to  pay  particular atten-
tion   to  include   engine   oil,  automatic
transaxle fluid, axle lubricant and cooling
system fluid.  Brake condition  is another
important item to  frequently check. Each
item 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.
Consider using a sway control.You can
ask a hitch dealer about sway control.
Don’t forget  to also  maintain your trailer
and
hitch.   Follow    the   maintenance

that you  tow a  trailer, don’t  drive over
80
km/h  (50   mph)  and  don’t  make
starts  at  full  throttle. This  helps  your
engine and other  parts of your vehicle
“wear” in at the heavier loads.
Always drive  your vehicle at  a moder-
ate  speed  (less  than   100  km/h  (60
