Note: Before towing a trailer, make sure the trailer brakes (if equipped)
and lamps are properly connected and functional. If equipped with
electronic trailer brakes, refer to the instructions provided by the
aftermarket electronic brake controller manufacturer for determining
trailer brake functionality.

For load specification terms found on the label, refer to Vehicle loading
- with and without a trailer
in this chapter. Remember to figure in the
tongue load of your loaded trailer when figuring the total weight.

WARNING: Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on
the certification label.

WARNING: Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended
gross trailer weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could

result in engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss
of control, vehicle rollover and personal injury.
