Maintenance When Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when
you're pulling a trailer. See Scheduled
Maintenance (Gasoline Engine) on page 615 for
more information. Things that are especially
important in trailer operation are automatic
transmission fluid (don't overfill), engine oil, axle
lubricant, belt, cooling system and brake system.
Each of these is covered in this manual, and
the Index will help you find them quickly. If you're
trailering, it's a good idea to review these
sections before you start your trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and
bolts are tight.
