Maintenance when trailer towing
CAUTION
1.
With  the manual  transaxle  in Neutral
or  automatic   transaxle  in  P   (Park),
apply your  brakes and hold  the brake
pedal down while you:
•  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.
Your vehicle will need service more often
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.
Start your engine;
Shift into gear; and
Release the parking brake.
•  When   towing   check    transaxle
fluid more frequently.

4.
Slowly   remove  your   foot   from  the
brake pedal.
Drive slowly until  the trailer is  clear of
the chocks.
Stop and  have someone  pick up  and
store the chocks.
Don’t forget  to also  maintain your trailer
and
hitch.   Follow    the   maintenance
schedule  that  accompanied your  trailer
and check it periodically. Preferably, con-
duct the check  at the start of  each day’s
driving.  Most  importantly, all  hitch  nuts
and bolts should be tight.
