Maintenance When Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often
when you’re pulling a trailer. See Scheduled
Maintenance on page 406 for more information.
Things that are especially important in trailer
operation are automatic transmission fluid
(don’t overfill), engine oil, axle lubricant,
drive belt, cooling system and brake system.
Each of these is covered in this manual, and the
Index will help you find them quickly. If you’re
trailering, it’s a good idea to review this information
before you start your trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and
bolts are tight.
Engine Cooling When Trailer Towing
Your cooling system may temporarily overheat
during severe operating conditions. See Engine
Overheating on page 325.
Changing a Tire When Trailer Towing
If you get a flat tire while towing a trailer, be sure
to secure the trailer and disconnect it from the
vehicle before changing the tire.
