• Allow more distance for stopping
with a trailer attached.
• The trailer tongue weight should
be 10-15% of the loaded trailer
weight.
• After you have traveled 80 km
(50 miles), thoroughly check your
hitch, electrical connections and
trailer wheel lug nuts.
• When stopped in traffic for long
periods of time in hot weather,
place the gearshift in P (Park) and
increase idle speed. This aids
engine cooling and air conditioner
efficiency.
• Vehicles with trailers should not
be parked on a grade. If you must
park on a grade, place wheel chocks
under the trailer's wheels.

towed:
• Release the parking brake.
• Move the gearshift to N (Neutral).
• Turn the key in the ignition to off.
