TOWING WITH THE VEHICLE

WARNING
• Do not tow a vehicle or trailer on public streets or highways.
• Normal vehicle operating speed should be reduced when towing.
• Extreme caution should be used when towing.
• Do not allow riders in or on whatever is being towed (towed vehicle, trailer, etc.).
• Total vehicle capacity, including the vehicle load rating and the gross weight of the
vehicle or trailer being towed, should not exceed the weight previously specified.
• Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts,
or rolling backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause
vehicle to overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury or death.
Because towing another vehicle or a trailer can have adverse effects on vehicle handling, be especially
cautious when towing. See the preceding chart for vehicle capacities.
Parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill should be avoided. If you must park on a hill, apply the parking
brake and have someone chock the tires of the trailer. Slowly release the parking brake to allow the
chocks to absorb the load of the trailer, then firmly set the parking brake.

TRANSPORTING ON A TRAILER

WARNING
• Do not allow riders on the vehicle or trailer being towed.
• Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts,
or rolling backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause
the vehicle to overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury or death.
• Reduce normal driving speed when transporting a vehicle or trailer.
