Before towing, make sure the total trail-
er weight, gross vehicle weight, gross

&
CAUTION
• The total trailer weight (trailer
weight plus its cargo load) must
not exceed 1500 kg (3307 lb.). Ex-
ceeding this weight is dangerous.
• Trailer hitch assemblies have differ-
ent weight capacities established by
the hitch manufacturer. Even though
the vehicle may be physically capa-
ble of towing a higher weight, the
operator must determine the maxi-
mum weight rating of the particular
hitch assembly and never exceed
the maximum weight rating speci-
fied for the trailer hitch. Exceeding
the maximum weight rating set by
the trailer hitch manufacturer can
cause an accident resulting in seri-
ous personal injuries.
• The gross vehicle weight must not
exceed 2380 kg (5247 lb.). The
gross vehicle weight is the sum of
weights of the unloaded vehicle,
driver, passengers, luggage, hitch
and trailer tongue load. It also in-
cludes the weight of any special
equipment installed on your vehicle.
• The load on either the front or rear
axle resulting from distribution of
the gross vehicle weight on both
axles must not exceed the follow-
ing.
