Maintenance When Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you
are pulling a trailer. See Scheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4 for more information. Things that are
especially important in trailer operation are automatic
transmission fluid (do not 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 are trailering,
it is 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 5-23.
