Maintenance when Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you're pulling
a
trailer.
See the Maintenance Schedule for more on this. Things that are especially
important in trailer operation are automatic transaxle fluid (don't
overfill), engine oil, belt, cooling system, and brake adjustment. 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.
