Maintenance When Trailer Towing; Engine Cooling When Trailer Towing; Towing A Trailer (Except Models W/ 2.4L Engine And 4-Speed Transaxle); Automatic Transaxle) - Chevrolet 1998 Cavalier Owner's Manual

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, drive 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.
Engine Cooling When Trailer Towing
Your cooling system may temporarily overheat during
severe operating conditions. See "Engine Overheating"
in the Index.
