NOTICE:
Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your
vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by
your warranty. To pull a trailer correctly, follow
the advice in this part, and see your Chevrolet
dealer for important information about towing a
trailer with your vehicle.
Do not tow a trailer if your vehicle
is
equipped with a
2.2L (Code 4) engine. You also cannot tow a trailer if
your vehicle is equipped with a manual or a three speed
automatic transaxle.
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if it is equipped with a
2.3L (Code D) engine, a four speed automatic transaxle
and proper trailer towing equipment. To identify what
the vehicle trailering capacity
is
for your vehicle, you
should read the information in "Weight of the Trailer"
that appears later in this section. But trailering is
different than just driving your vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in handling, durability, and
fuel economy. Successful, safe trailering takes correct
equipment, and
it
has to be used properly.
That's the reason for this part. I n
it
are many
time-tested, important trailering
tips
and safety rules.
Many of these are important for your safety and that of
your passengers. So please read this section carefully
before you pull a trailer.
Load-pulling components such as the engine, transaxle,
wheel assemblies, and tires are forced to work harder
against the drag of the added weight. The engine is
required to operate at relatively higher speeds and under
greater loads, generating extra heat. What's more, the
trailer adds considerably to wind resistance, increasing
the pulling requirements.
If You Do Decide To Pull A Trailer
If you do, here are some important points.
0
There are many different laws, including speed limit
restrictions, having to do with trailering. Make sure
your rig will be legal, not only where
you live but
also where you'll be driving. A good source for this
information can be state or provincial police.
0
Consider using a sway control.
You can ask a hitch dealer about sway controls.
Don't tow
a
trailer at all during the first 1,000 miles
( I 600 km) your new vehicle is driven. Your engine,
axle or other parts could be damaged.
