DRIVING
Pre-tow checklist
When preparing to tow, and before driving away, be sure to check the following:
• Avoid towing a trailer during your vehicle's first 600 miles (1,000 km).
• The vehicle has been properly serviced, and the suspension and the cooling
system are in good operating condition.
• The trailer has been properly serviced and is in good condition.
• All weights and loads are within limits. Never exceed the gross weight ratings.
• Check if all loads are within limits at a public scale. If a public scale is not
available, add the estimated weight of your cargo load to the weight of your
trailer (as quoted by the manufacturer) and the tongue load.
• The hitch, safety chains, and any other attachments are secure.
• All items in or on the trailer are properly secured and cannot shift while you
drive.
