Maintenance When Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you're
pulling a trailer. See Part A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services on page 6-4 for more on this. Things that are
especially important in trailer operation are automatic
transaxle fluid (don't overfill), engine oil, drive 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 this information before you start your trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts
are tight.
Engine Cooling When Trailer Towing
Your cooling system may temporarily overheat during
severe operating conditions. See Engine Overheating on
page 5-22 .
