CAUTION
■
Speed limits
Do not exceed the established speed limit for towing a trailer in built-up
areas or 100 km/h (63 mph), whichever is lower.
Failing to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or
serious injury.
■
To avoid accident or injury
●
The total trailer weight (trailer weight plus the weight of cargo) must not
exceed the following:
2500 kg (5512 lb.): 1GR and 1KD engines (5-door models)
3000 kg (6614 lb.): 1KD engine (3-door models)
●
Do not exceed the trailer hitch assembly weight, gross vehicle weight,
gross axle weight and trailer tongue load capacities.
●
Never load more weight in the back than in the front of the trailer. About 60
% of the load should be in the front half of the trailer, and the remaining 40
% in the rear.
●
For vehicles with the rear height control air suspension, set the vehicle
height to LO mode and turn off the rear height control air suspension to
prevent the vehicle height from automatically changing.
■
Hitches
●
Use only a hitch that conforms to the total trailer weight requirement.
●
Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer.
●
Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coat of grease.
●
Remove the trailer hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer. After
removing the hitch, seal any mounting holes in the vehicle body to prevent
entry of any substances into the vehicle.
