9-54 Driving and Operating
Pulling a Trailer
Here are some important points:
There are many laws, including
speed limit restrictions, that
apply to trailering. Check for
legal requirements with state
or provincial police.
Do not tow a trailer at all during
the first 1 600 km (1,000 mi)
the new vehicle is driven.
The engine, axle or other parts
could be damaged.
During the first 800 km (500 mi)
that a trailer is towed, do not
drive over 80 km/h (50 mph)
and do not make starts at full
throttle. This reduces wear on
the vehicle.
Vehicles with automatic
transmissions can tow in
D (Drive), but M (Manual
Mode) is recommended. See
Manual Mode in Automatic
Transmission on page 9 29 for
more information. Use a lower
gear if the transmission shifts
too often. For vehicles with a
manual transmission, it is better
not to use the highest gear.
Use the cruise control when
towing.
Obey speed limit restrictions.
Do not drive faster than the
maximum posted speed for
trailers, or no more than 90 km/h
(55 mph), to reduce wear on the
vehicle.

Driving with a Trailer
Towing a trailer requires experience.
Get familiar with handling and
braking with the added trailer
weight. The vehicle is now longer
and not as responsive as the
vehicle is by itself.
Check all trailer hitch parts
and attachments, safety chains,
electrical connectors, lamps, tires,
and mirror adjustments. If the trailer
has electric brakes, start the vehicle
and trailer moving and then apply
the trailer brake controller by hand
to be sure the brakes are working.
During the trip, check regularly to be
sure that the load is secure, and the
lamps and trailer brakes are working
properly.
