CAUTION
Trailer towing precautions
Follow all the instructions described in this section. Failure to do so could
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Exceeding the towing capacity, GVWR or GAWR can cause an accident
resulting in death or serious personal injuries.
To avoid accident or injury
Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) or the posted towing speed limit, which-
ever is lower. As instability (swaying) of the towing vehicle-trailer combina-
tion increases as speed increases, exceeding 45 mph (72 km/h) may
cause loss of control.
Do not exceed the trailer hitch assembly weight, gross vehicle weight,
gross axle weight and trailer tongue load capacities.
Never load more weight in the back than in the front of the trailer. About
60% of the load should be in the front half of the trailer, and the remaining
40% in the rear.
Do not use cruise control when you are towing.
Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill
grades. Do not make sudden downshifts while descending steep or long
downhill grades.
Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or applying the brakes too
frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and result in reduced
braking efficiency.
Do not tow the vehicle with the compact spare tire installed.
