Trailer towing (3-door models for Canada)
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger carrying vehicle.
Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on handling, perfor-
mance, braking, durability, and fuel consumption. For your safety

tions.
The vehicle stability and braking performance are affected by trailer
