Towing Tips

Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping
and backing the trailer in an area away from heavy
traffic.

Towing Tips — Automatic Transaxle
The DRIVE gear can be selected when towing. However,
if frequent shifting occurs while in DRIVE, move the gear
selector lever into third gear (with four-speed transaxle)
or fifth gear (with six-speed transaxle).

NOTE:

Moving the gear selector lever into third gear

(with four-speed transaxle) or fifth gear (with six-speed
transaxle) while operating the vehicle under heavy oper-
ating conditions will improve performance and extend
transaxle life by reducing excessive shifting and heat
build up. This action will also provide better engine
braking.
