TRAILER TOWING
Warranty Requirements
The Manufacturer’s Passenger Vehicle Warranty will
apply to vehicles used to tow trailers for non-commercial
use. However the following conditions must be met:
•
The maximum trailer load for vehicles with manual
transaxles is 1,000 lbs (454 kg).
•
The maximum trailer load for vehicles with automatic
transaxles is 1,000 lbs (454 kg).
•
The maximum frontal area of the trailer cannot exceed
20 square feet (1.86 square meters).
•
If using a manual transaxle vehicle for trailer towing,
all starts must be in FIRST gear to avoid excessive
clutch slippage.
The trailer tongue load must be considered as part of the
tow vehicle load capacity when loading the vehicle.
NOTE:
Check the automatic transmission fluid level
before towing. Fluid discoloration, or a burnt odor,
shows the need for transmission fluid replacement.
WARNING!
Connecting trailer brakes to your vehicle’s hydraulic
brake lines can overload your brake system and
cause it to fail. You might not have brakes when you
need them and could have an accident.
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer size,
stop lights and turn signals on the trailer are recom-
mended for motoring safety.
